Lesley, I hear there's a lot of concrete in the mountains of Europe... I'd love to go to there some day. Gene has been there skiing a couple of times. He loved it!
Grace, I took these because of the stark contrast of the industry and the wild. And I took the photo of the mine on a rainy day when we were visiting our cousins in Fernie. Sparwood is just down the road. The Exshaw plant was taken on a hot, sultry summer day - at Steph's wedding, actually!
Lime plant at Exshaw, Alberta 
Coal mine at Sparwood, British Columbia
Reminds me of the drive up to beautiful Val d'Isere. Lots of industry in the valleys and spectacular scenery up high.

The coal mine looks so dark and dreary as opposed the lime plant. Beautiful surroundings in the background.

ReplyDeleteMines are strange places, some very toxic to the environment, used to love going up to the huge copper mine in Jerome Arizona...
