On July 29th the skies were sunny and there was no rain, for a change. It was very warm and very humid. I decided to take yet another tour of the Nordegg Historic site with my big view camera. This time around I turned my attention to the upper part of the mine site. I haven'ts spent a lot of time in this part of the site in recent months.
I photographed at the lamphouse, and then at the entries to Level 2 and 3 of the mine. There are also fan houses in these locations and I shot here as well. At level three there is still an opening into the ventilation shaft, covered with a steel grate. Beautiful cold air comes out of that opening and it is like air conditioning on a hot summer day. Obviously there is another opening somewhere else on the site that allows the air to get in. The mine entrances themselves have been barricaded and there is no access to the coal workings.
