Seeing as it was the Easter break, Billy,
Debbie and myself took off for Frank in Alberta and as it was a
magnificent day it was a great chance to take more photographs. I decided
to take this set of photos at 1600 width to try and make the most of the
scenery...
Interesting wee tunnel they had here
And this is us in Fernie
And we're now in the town (Spawood) where they
have the biggest truck in the world :-)
That's me standing beside the tyre and Billy &
Deb in the other picture
Back on our way to Frank
We're now in Alberta
And this was at the infamous "The Frank Slide"
where the mountain fell down on the Frank township and killed over 100
people
You can see the size of some of these rocks,
just about the size of a house. It apparently flowed like a river right
over the town and up the other side
We were now heading back the way but would
pull off to see the exhibition which is a tribute to the people who died
in the town
There is actually a very good interactive
display and we watched a 45 minute film of the event. Also interesting to
note that the receptionist and guide both were of Scots descent :-)
Some excellent views from the event site
We were now heading back to BC
And this was us and the BC border
We took a wee detour to the Wilderness Capital
of British Columbia and while it looked quite wild there wasn't much to
see in the Capital but outside there were some big mining operations in
evidence such as the one on the right
Diversion over we were now on our way back to
Cranbrook and Kimberley
The picture on the left is small graveyard for
the people that have died at this part of the road
And as this was us nearing Cranbrook I figured
you'd already seen the rest of the scenery so this completes this wee day
out to Alberta |
