claybank brick plant

One of my goals this summer was to return to Claybank Brick Plant. A historic site in the province, this brick plant it still very much intact and an interesting site to see and photograph. We went out for a couple of hours and after taking a tour of the place then we wandered around taking pictures.

Most pictures are in black and white because I wanted to try a different effect. Considering the whole factory was basically steel and brick, taking black and white pictures created an interesting effect with shadows.

This site is one of my favorite historic sites in the province and I hope is able to stay open for years to come. I recommend anyone that likes history visit this site at least once.

all that remains

Went out with Saskurbex to a place we have been at least once. Seems every time we try to reach it the road is impassible due to snow or mud. We took my small car on dry grids and made it out to this elevator and church. Nothing had changed except the decor in the church. It was nice to revisit this.

The highlight would be visiting a more intact elevator and driving through grass as tall as my car.

lake exploration

Recently in a last minute decision I decided to head up to my families cabin. The plan was to relax and enjoy the lake and time away. Since sitting around and doing nothing is not my forte in life I chose to explore the next day.

I headed out on the road with my dad and what started as a 1 hour one church trip turned into 5 hours of countless churches, schools and houses. The trip was a great success, so much so that I was not able to stop at every location and take a photo due to time constraints.

Some of my favorite moments include:
- finding an intersection with 2 churches on the corners - opposite denominations (lol)
- finding remains of a bombing & gunnery school
- rest stop at an abandoned gas station
- churches full intact, some even with collection plates & money
- historical signage
