The Canadian Prairies

 

       This is Ontario. Travelling west from here you see the last rocks          of  the Canadian Shield

     before you reach Manitoba where the great Canadian Prairies             begin.

    Manitoba Prairies

      Most prairie grain elevators have been abandoned

     They just rot

      Sad to see

      Very sad

      Sometimes devastating

      Even heart-breaking

      Note the oil pump-jacks in the background

     Toward the end of the prairies

     The first faint sight of the mountains

      The last grain elevators before the mountains

       Last of the prairies before the Rocky Mountains in the distance
