Welcome to my website
On May 6, I made a drive south from Calgary to Spring Coulee, passing by way of Stand Off. Looking for traces of yesterday to photograph and record, I drove on through Magrath, Raymond, New Dayton and finally, at my southern-most, Warner. Heading north, I stopped in Wrentham then travelled to Taber and on to Vauxhall, Lomond and Enchant. A rather dark and cloudy day, with intermittent rain, I processed favourite images shown here in black and white. Traces of bits of community history found along the way. Have a look under the Photography button above and click on "Spring Coulee to Vauxhall". Enjoy the drive.
On Friday, May 1, the Kerby News published the 22nd feature story that I have written for that publication. The story is entitled "Calgary's Rail Line to the Past" and concerns a short piece of track used by the Canadian National Railway (CNR) to access an industrial area of Calgary. Years ago, the line ran into the heart of the city to Lindsay Park where the Repsol Sports Centre is now located. A main railway yard operated there and, across the Elbow River, the former St Mary's Parish Hall provided the railway's passenger station, freight depot and business offices. Photographs of present day freight operations in the Highfield area are included. This story is the first one up under the "Published Stories " button above.
Meanwhile, stay healthy. Be in touch with family and friends. Keep in mind the homeless in our communities who need help now more than ever.
