On Friday July 5th Arturo and I made a return visit to the Reynolds Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin. When we previously visited, about a month ago, we ran out of time, and weren't able to take all the photographs that we wanted. That is what prompted our return visit.
This time around we didn't spend any time inside the museum, viewing the restored exhibition pieces. Instead we went outside and explored some of the un-restored stuff. There is one large area that includes a number of large pieces of equipment from Alberta coal mines. There is another area where they have a row of old trucks, many rather unique and unusual. On this day we focused our attention on these areas.
We will have to return yet again, as there is still more that we have not yet seen.
The weather was fantastic, with clear sunny skies and the temperature peaked at about 25C. As photographers we would have liked a few more clouds, but one has to play the hand we are dealt.
I shot 24 sheets of 4" x 5" film with my Ebony view camera... 22 black and white and 2 color. I look forward to getting the film processed and seeing what I captured. I suspect that several of the images may be worthy of consideration for our Apparitions project.
