That shot of the church also reminds me of the one in the movie "Guns of San Sebastian" with Anthony Quinn playing a priest. Long time ago though.
 
Might not be much in this small town but we do have the world's largest this.






It's a tree crusher built by Letourneau. One was shipped to Vietnam during the war to clear right of way but tests proved it was only marginally effective in water(?) and it was what some people might call a target.

I'll get a couple of better ones in the summer.

Got home today after a week away at work and found these pix in my email. My son is visiting his oldest sister in Victoria B.C. and they got these tattoos as a tribute to dear old Dad's insanity to all things Spitfire. Not quite the most accurate depictions but I think they are awesome. Youngest daughter wants one now. (Cellphone pictures and I tried to blow them up without too much distortion.)Son's is on the left.

Tattoos. When they get older the Spitties will become a color blurred cross and the wording will be an illegible form of "leopard" or "preferred". Believe me, I know this first hand.
 
My Dad, a professed badass Marine with the provenance to support it, had a US Marine bulldog put on his bicep with his moniker below it "Punchy". Believe me he deserved such a moniker.

Unfortunately, nowadays is says "Lunchy".
 
My latest trip to work.
The Rockies






My awesome car in the Rockies

Willow Creek coal mine

On the way to work I pass through Chetwynd, B.C., the chainsaw carving capital of the world




Lots of broken dreams on Highway 97

A few more pictures from the mine.Hopefully, this will be my last month here.
Hoe broke down, waiting for mechanics in Phase 2.

Sunrise.

Southern view from Phase 3.

I usually drive with my windows open.

Failed attempt with the self-timer in my office.

Phase 4 across the valley.

Reminded me of ancient stone paintings of a road runner and a hummingbird. Or maybe the meds kicked in.

The house with the green roof looks to be a "Sears" catalog home. Back in the early days of the last century the Sears and Roebuck company offered a mail order program designed to make home ownership easier for the working man, every other week you would recieve all the materials you needed, (Including nails!) to complete that particular step. I think there were five types, and the materials were the finest hard woods. I've been in a couple over the years, and wish I had one!
