Lake Claiborne is a reservoir located near the town of Homer, Louisiana. Isolated in a rural area, it is a popular man-made fishing area that has a combined estimated area of 6,400 acres (26 km2).[1] Lake Claiborne State Park, a Louisiana state maintained camping and recreation area, lies on southern shore of the lake.

The lake was created by the construction of Clairborne Lock and Dam by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1970. The lock is for water management and navigation; no hydroelectric power is produced here. The dam was built during the terms of Governors Jimmie H. Davis and John J McKeithen.

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/villi_kristjans/55525097987/" title="Siglufjarðarkirkja (DSC_8679)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55525097987_93c2df31c6_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Siglufjarðarkirkja (DSC_8679)" /></a></p>

<p>Í meira en 600 ár var Siglunes miðstöð Siglufjarðarbyggða og stóð þar m.a. aðalkirkja og þingstaður íbúa Sigluneshrepps hins forna. Elstu heimildir um kirkju þar eru frá 1422. Í upphafi 20. aldar, á upphafsárum síldarævintýrisins margumtalaða, fjölgaði íbúum Siglufjarðar ört og upphófst þá leit að nýju kirkjustæði.<br />
<br />
Lyktir málsins urðu þær að ákveðið var að reisa hið nýja guðshús á Jónstúni, beint upp af Aðalgötunni. Arkitekt var ráðinn Arne Finsen, danskur að ætt, en þá starfandi í Reykjavík, og er upphafleg teikning að kirkjunni dagsett 29. júní 1929. Hinn 30. mars 1930 lagði sóknarnefndin blessun þar yfir og á fundi 28. september það ár var framkvæmdin boðin út.<br />
<br />
Kirkjan er um 35 metra löng, 12 metra breið og steypt. Kirkjuskipið er tvílyft með um 30 metra háum klukkuturn, steyptur með forkirkju, sem lögð er steinflísum. Klukkurnar voru gjöf frá Sparisjóði Siglufjarðar. Byggingarár kirkjunnar er steypt ofan við dyr hennar. Klukkuskífa er á turninum. Tveir gluggar eru á hvorri hlið hans, en efst er kross úr smíðajárni. Kirkjan snýr í vestur og austur og snýr altarið í vestur. Veggir að utan eru múraðir, en þak lagt bárujárni. Gluggar í kirkjuskipi eru með gotnesku lagi og póstum, fjórir á hvorri langhlið, en einn á hvorri hlið í kór.</p>

<p>Siglufjarðarkirkja, consecrated in 1929, stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Siglufjörður community. Before its construction, the town, which flourished as the herring capital of Iceland in the early 20th century, relied on earlier, smaller churches. The current church was designed to accommodate a growing population and reflect the town's prosperity during its golden age. Its distinctive architecture, characterized by a clean white facade and a vibrant red corrugated iron roof, is typical of many Icelandic churches of its era, blending traditional Scandinavian influences with local adaptations to withstand the harsh northern climate. The church quickly became, and remains, a central gathering place and a visual landmark for both residents and visitors, symbolizing the town's heritage and its continuous connection to faith and community.</p>
