Various derelict vehicles lie scattered around the property at the abandoned Brazeau Collieries mine operation. These three old cars were thoughtfully parked together as if by a forgotten valet, who departed the scene after the drivers didn’t return to claim their wheels. These days you have to park your own vehicle in the visitor parking lot; valet service is not available.
Driving past Agathla Peak in the Navajo Nation, on our way to Monument Valley, we passed a few horses at 60 MPH. I saw them coming when we were still a little ways down the road, but had only a split second to react as the elements lined up beyond the vehicle window.
Large storage tanks from abandoned mining works stand ranked behind a weather-beaten chapel in the ghost town of Goldfield, Arizona. This perspective on the series of geometric shapes provides a sense of order to these structural relics.
The briquette processing building at the abandoned Brazeau Collieries mine operation processed crushed coal and tar into briquettes. These were run over 4 huge conveyors into a storage building, awaiting loading onto rail cars. Not a lot of folks now remember the days of coal furnaces in the home, or coal-fired locomotives. The conversion of the latter to diesel spelled the rapid end of a phase of the coal mining industry that included the shutdown of this mine. Coal was instrumental in opening the West, but this setting conveys for most a piece of history that we’re now removed from.
A Beautiful Life does not just happen It is built daily by Prayer, Humility, Sacrifice and Hard work. Life is a flower ~ so precious in your hand.
Magic Is Believing In Yourself ~ If you can do that... You can make anything happen. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Dahlias are such a beautiful and inspiring flower - for not one is alike.
I was able to capture (only with my camera) this majestic eagle, today while attending the annual Eagle Festival in Harrison Mills, BC. As I snapped away, he turned and looked at me ~ I froze but kept clicking, it was only maybe a few seconds but it seemed a lifetime! What an amazing moment!!
