Canola, Leduc County

I look forward to seeing the Canola fields. Here in my part of Alberta we are setting records for recorded rainfall in July. The fields are not great and waterlogged. Hoping for a better August.

Beehive burner

I used to see a lot of beehive burners many years ago in British Columbia. They were used by sawmills to burn off wood waste. They got phased out years ago due to environmental and health concerns. When they did operate they were in use twenty-four hours a day and you could see red sparks out the top at night. The top had kind of a metal mesh dome if I remember it right.

This is a former beehive burner at Malakwa, British Columbia that I guess became some kind of diner it the past. It is vacant and up for sale.
