  Koty and I are hunting for photo ops in southern Alberta. We are staying at a little berg called Blairmore in Crowsnest Pass. This morning we headed out for Chinook Lake. Missed the turnoff and ended up way up the road to nowhere. By the time we finally found the darned thing the morning light was history. Summer in the northern parts is a tough time too shoot, for me anyway. Evening doesn’t get here until 9:00pm and by that time I’m ready for bed. Can hardly wait for Fall. This afternoon we drove into the sunset. Went as far as Sparwood. Didn’t find much to shoot. Took the trail where we had earlier found baby Bullwinkle but no soap. Stopped in at Miner’s Path. Took a few wildflower shots and some water shots.

  Autumn at Turtle Mountain
  by Alyce Taylor

  Bright orange and golden coloured trees stand out among the huge boulders in the rubble field of Frank Slide as a dense fog bank slowly rolls down the side of Turtle Mountain from above. Captured at Frank Slide, near Blairmore, Alberta, Canada. / Taken with a Canon Rebel XSi using an 18-55mm IS lens. _The Frank Slide is a natural landslide feature in the southern Rocky Mountains of Canada, and a significant historical event in western Canada. Frank, Alberta is a coal mining town in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. On April 29, 1903, at 4:10 a.m., 90 million tonnes (30 million cubic metres) of limestone crashed from the east face of Turtle Mountain and covered approximately three square kilometres of the valley floor. The slab of rock that broke free was approximately 650 m high, 900 m wide and 150 m thick1. The slide dammed the Crowsnest River and formed a small lake, covered 2km of the Canadian Pacific Railway, destroyed most of the coal mine’s surface infrastructure, and buried seven houses on the outskirts of the sleeping town of Frank, as well as several rural buildings. Frank was home to approximately 600 people in 1903; of the roughly 100 individuals who lived in the path of the slide, 76 were killed. The town was evacuated, but people were soon allowed to return and both the mine and the railway were back in operation within a month. The town of Frank continued to grow, until a report on the mountain’s stability resulted in the provincial government ordering the closure of the south part of the town in 1911. Studies and monitoring continue today._ / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  Frank's Slide

  A dense snow cloud descends over the top of Turtle Mountain, promising more snow on the already snow-covered face of Frank’s Slide, the scar from a huge landslide that broke from the side of Turtle Mountain.
