Junk Yard

On October 22nd my friends Chris and Connie from Calgary, drove up to central Alberta to meet me at a junk yard.  We spent the better part of a day poking around in the acres of junk that was lying around.  A lot of it was just that... junk...!  A lot of scrap metal, including a mountain of rusty old tin cans.  There seemed to be a certain amount of order to it all as the aluminum was separated from the iron and the stainless steel.  The appliances were all in one general area, old propane tanks in another.  Scattered about through the yard were a bunch of interesting old vehicles.  This was the focus of my attention on this day as I had my view camera along with me and took a bunch of photographs.  Rather interesting that over in one corner was an old process camera.  Too bad it had been abandoned out in the elements as the bellows were falling apart and there was probably no salvage value in it.  All the same I will look into this a little further.  By mid afternoon we finished up in the junk yard and hit the road for a while.  After driving for some time we ended up in the village of Botha.  The old store here is pretty interested and we stopped to admire it.  On this day we weren't able to get access to the interior but perhaps some day we can return.  Later still we headed over to a small town pub for a beer and something to eat.  Eventually we said our good byes and headed off home in opposite directions.
