"The Oil Derrick"

The Oil Derrick is located at Gateway Park at the south entrance to the city of Edmonton. The Oil Derrick is symbolic of the relationship  the Oil industry has on the development of this city.

 

 

I placed the derrick in the center of the picture to attain a filled frame effect.

           Patterns are everywhere and this Derrick is a perfect example of this.

 

I experimented with taking the picture at a different angle and found this one to actually be the most interesting of the shots.

Lost in Time!

Custom combines waiting to be called into action. A common scene through out Sask at harvest time.

 

 I took a road trip through out a portion of Southern Sask. Many of the old towns are dying off and I thought I should get a few shots for memories.

Unsure why they would be using these large wooden wire spools in Goodwater Sask. They are leaning up against a large Quonset which serves this small community as a skating arena, curling rink, and indoor rodeo arena. Lots of very talented cowboys came from the surrounding area.

 

The sky had an interesting V pattern to it.

In Bromhead, I discovered a few vintage treasures. These gas pumps once served many of the residents of the community and are now just a memory of days gone by. The old garage has long been abandoned.

 Located behind the old garage. I hope they still aren't waiting for their service appointment.

The wonderful thing about Southern Sask, is the opportunity to discover a multitude of vintage vehicles. This one is located in the town of Torquay.
