The Flin Flon Adventures: Day 1 Part 2
Little Update - we are in The Pas (spoken The Paw and thanks to Rachel for the heads up tricky town name) we are now on the way to Flin Flon - to not completetly loose track of the photos here is the next batch - still from Day 1 - I never gonna catch up again at this rate ;)
Left Restaurant in some small town
We are on the lookout for movement - the windmill was the first (and last) movement for a very long time
Empty old houses - haunting
But with modern ornamentals
and a Brian in front
who is still happy driving - super triple mirror inside
And scrap yards full of gorgeous old cars and other mobiles
Canadian Shield has granite mountains
Driving along Lake Superior - the last of the Big Lakes - People are Ice Fishing - even so the ice started melting
The little stone man figures are everywhere we go like little ghosts watching over us
Lake Superior is really big and it has nice nice nice sandy beaches that except for the pine trees (and the ice) they could also be in the Caribbean
And always the devestation to nature comes into view - mountain top mining.
Comments
These pictures are gorgeous. As a Manitoba girl, it's so nice to see my home province through the eyes of a visitor.
All the best for your Flin Flon show! It's a great town with beautiful scenery, and a delicate balance between human life and wildlife. Enjoy!
p.s. It's "The Pas" not The Pass :)
