Country Roads

Went out the other day on a small trip and decided to photograph some countryside. We found a beautiful little stone house, quite a few farmhouses and an old school. We also got to photograph some beautiful landscapes and to top it off a gorgeous sunset.

Since i was shooting with a lens that had macro i decided
to photograph this huge spider that was the only
resident of the stone house

sask's own ski tunnel

Who would have thought a "flat" province would have so many abandoned ski hills?

My third ski hill in the past few years, this was is the least exciting but still has its perks. At one time it could brag about "Saskatchewan's only ski tunnel" - this long abandoned ski hill has been turned into biking trails. The chalet remains boarded up, its history locked inside. The lifts still going up the hill and cables laying on the ground.

I also found an abandoned church on my way home from this hill so I decided to share that as well!

be aware ski with care

Another Ski Hill?!?!

Crazy I know. I'm giving the credit to SaskUrbex for this one. If it weren't for him I would have never figured out that this existed. This neat little find this hill was surprisingly intact with plenty of vandalism. The chalet was definitely the most interesting, but sitting on an abandoned chair of a ski lift was an interesting experience. This ski hill had a chair lift, T-bar and quite a few runs. Overgrown now and with years of neglet its surprising that there is still glass in some of the windows  and not everything was stolen.

A neat place to document.

No shortage of selection

school for mice

Out and about the other day we cam upon a schoolhouse. Not looking very promising from the outside we checked it out anyways and were surprised by what we found. A piano, learning materials, dishes & chairs still remain in this school. What was strange was the amount of mice around this schoolhouse. Someone must have gone crazy with the mouse poisen because everytime i turned around there was another dead mouse.
