behind the lens

 Howard often complains that I'm never IN the pictures but always

taking them. 

So, I thought I should put these out there - just for fun. :)

frank slide & prairie windmills

 On our way back to Manitoba

we took "the long way home" and

drove through the town of Frank.

This town was buried on April 29, 1903 when 

90 million tons of limestone broke off of

Turtle Mountain.

In less than 100 seconds, the slide traveled 3 kilometres.

We both remember visiting Frank Slide when we were kids

and it was still a very sobering experience to return here.
