A once elegant home, now abandoned in the mining town of Coleman in the Crowsnest Pass. This is one of my favourite places in Alberta- a very historic, very eerie cluster of mining towns in the Rockies- whenever we go down that way I crank up the Tom Waits and enjoy some atmosphere. I photographed this about a year ago…the windows in this house have been broken out and boarded up by now, I’m glad I caught it before the destruction. Incidentally, I imagine Coleman must be one very cool place to celebrate Halloween, I get creeped out by the old part of town even in broad daylight, never mind a misty dark night under a full moon with only the sounds of the river and doors creaking shut…

Driving East from British Columbia on the road through Crowsnest Pass, one gradually leaves the Rocky Mountains behind, entering the foothill country of Alberta and eventually moving into the vast rolling prairie grasslands. / August 2006, Sony DSCF828 camera.

On a trip across Canada in 2006, we entered Alberta province from British Columbia at Crowsnest Pass, one of the main “gateways” through the Rocky Mountains. Here, the Rockies are gradually dropping off into foothills as we enter the rolling plains of southern Alberta, but not yet onto the actual prairies. Lots of beautiful forests mixed with pastoral farming and ranching land, and many lovely places to stop and spend some time. / Sony DSCF828 camera.

From Wikipedia / The Burmis Tree is a limber pine located in south western Alberta along the Crowsnest Highway and east of municipality of Crowsnest Pass. The tree died in the late 1970s after losing its needles. Its age was estimated to be between 200 and 300 years old. In 1998, it was toppled by wind, however members of local community refused to leave it lying. Efforts were made to fix the tree back up using rods and brackets. In 2004, vandals cut one of the tree’s main branches. Nikon D300 / Nikkor 18-200mm ISO 200 82mm F/8 1/250 sec / Converted to B&W in CS3

A sepia colored image of a horse leaning over a fence for a close-up portrait. Captured in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, Canada; in the shadow of Crowsnest Mountain itself, you just can’t see the peak because the horse is blocking the shot. :-)

Featured in ImageWriting on October 9th, 2009. A coloured infrared image of the famous Burmis Tree, standing at the entrance to Crowsnest Pass, near Blairmore, Alberta, Canada. Captured with a Canon rebel XSi, using a 18-55mm IS lens. Processed with Tiffen DFX. The Burmis Tree is a limber pine located in south western Alberta along the Crowsnest Highway and east of municipality of Crowsnest Pass. The tree died in the late 1970s after losing its needles. Its age was estimated to be between 200 and 300 years old. In 1998, it was toppled by wind, however members of local community refused to leave it lying. Efforts were made to fix the tree back up using rods and brackets. In 2004, vandals cut one of the tree’s main branches. / Source: Wikipedia – author unknown Burmis Tree – This rare Limber Pine is one of the most famous and most photographed trees in Alberta (some say the most photographed tree in the world). It was sentenced to perch on a ridge along Highway 3, in Southern Alberta, Canada, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains (11 km (6 mi.) E of the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre), for over 300 years. Its needles were lost in 1978; Chinook winds toppled it in 1998; it was vandalized in 2004. It suffers by living, by acts of love, and by acts of violence. Unfortunately, the Burmis Tree is the only point of interest left of the once prosperous coal mining and lumber town of Burmis. / Source: Gary Hebert

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
