Road trip?

If only.

Motorcycle is still in the shop. I live near Calgary and you would think that Calgary having over one million people that someone would stock a wheel bearing for a Suzuki motorcyle. Apparently it takes two weeks to get one. Various bills and responsibilities are keeping me from things I would rather be be doing. Such is life.

The photo is from Jasper, Alberta on August 6, 2018 which is where I would like to be this weekend.

Fir Mountain School

A country school in Fir Mountain, Saskatchewan that dates back to 1929. It was originally a two-room school that had a third room added on at a later date. 

There must have been a lot of kids in the area at one time.

Behind the school was this eye-catching barn with a somewhat magical air to it.

Haze

Forest fires in British Columbia are making things incredibly hazy here in Alberta. This is early evening smoke south of Leduc, Alberta on August 11, 2018. Since then it has got a lot worse.

Lost or . . .

Very lost. Such a range of choices.

Sometimes you run across some odd stuff on a back road in Alberta.

There might be a story behind this.

Wood Mountain Romanian Orthodox Cemetery

Some shots of the cemetery associated with the Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church from my previous post. This well maintained cemetery is just a little south of town.
