When a Dodge Power Wagon was a "Power Wagon" and built tough. Pretty sure this is the 1947 model.

Recently spotted in Jenner, Alberta.

The Historical Bowden Bridge

A beautiful 3-arch bowstring bridge near Borden, Saskatchewan.  

Now closed to vehicular traffic, many come to fish or simply enjoy the walk across this handsome historical rainbow arch bridge.    

For the first time ever I was able to just enjoy it with no snow on the ground. Yay!

Tyra

Grrrrr!

Tyra stands 85 feet tall, 150 feet long and weighs in at 145,000 pounds . . . and is a landmark in Drumheller, Alberta.  

Unfortunately, there are plans to dismantle this iconic structure in the near future. Can't imagine what they're thinking . . . everyone wants to see Tyra and no one wants to see her gone.

Maybe they'll come to their senses.  

Photographed in Drumheller, Alberta on October 22, 2025.

Abandoned Barn

Big hay loft in this attractive old barn near Galahad, Alberta.  

Big hay loft means lots of room to store hay for feeding cattle in wintertime...and also a great place for mama cats to have their kittens.

Truck on a Stump

On my way from one place to another I passed through Neilburg, Saskatchewan where I caught sight of this old truck.   

All that's left of Bob's Corner Gas & Cafe is the sign, an old gas pump and a truck on a stump.
