Ouimet Canyon...
Summer snow...salt deposits along the praries forming an industry to provide, yes, salt. Fascinating scenery and geological perculiarity among the vastness of wheat and cows to finally come across something so dramatically altered from the common landscape. What a lesson this could be...
A glorious departing sun casting a final glow on a land less travelled; sending a shimmering shadow of a truck making its way across Canada.
Eating one of the many creations of vegetable delight along the road. Lunch breaks allowed for arbitrary respite from the drive, which although at times was monotextured and labourous in length, mostly kept us sedate and curious at the same time. It was nice to stop and sit on the ground and contemplate just where you were sitting...millions of years of history locked up in the rocks and sediments, and we give most of them but a passing glance as we whisk by on our way. Lunch, the momentary lack of movement, allowed thoughts of more grandeur. Time well spent.
A serene drive along the spinal flats of Canada
