Alberta Trip May 2005 - May 19
May 19 we drove from Keremeos to Cranbrook,
stopping occasionally to take photographs of anything that inspired us.
The weather was beautiful in the morning, but became pretty grim in spots, including heavy rain which
turned to hail while we ate lunch at
Copper Eagle Cappuccino &
Bakery in
Greenwood.
(My traditionally-minded companions had sandwiches, but I went straight for
an enormous slice of absolutely heavenly apple-rhubarb pie. Life is
short and uncertain: eat dessert first.)
Then the sun came out again and we visited the
site of the now-ruined Greenwood Copper smelter. The site is
apparently undergoing some sort of transformation or 'clean-up' - hopefully
they will keep it accessible, as it is an intriguing place to wander around
in.

Did anyone notice when
a pile of waste became an
historic artifact?
