Unknown school

I am sure this is an old one room schoolhouse. This is in Vulcan County, Alberta. I posted it before when I saw it in the winter. I wanted to see it with no snow. There is no sign saying what school it was, it may have been moved here from another location. It sits alone out in a field.

Dorothy Grain Elevator

So here, for your approval, shots of the 1920s grain elevator remaining at Dorothy, Alberta which was closed in the late 1950s.  Now roofless, its future hangs in the balance, hopefully it will be rescued and preserved for future generations! Visited in July, 2017.

Boots and Dunes

The Great Sandhills is a natural area in southwest Saskatchewan and is the largest set of active sand dunes in all of Canada. The landscape is ever changing.

The Hanging Cowboy Boots Arch is located above the parking area. It was built by local rancher John Both as a display of his appreciation and love of life. He understood this fragile landscape and believed in its preservation. Some of his ashes are spread beneath the arch.
