INFINITE RESOURCES?

On my way to the downtown area to shop it is necessary to step across the Canadian Pacific Railway line, actually 2 lines. The town originally grew up on this line. I came across this piece of equipment sitting opposite the (empty) station office. It's a balast spreader - not a snow plow! - and is used to spread the crushed rock base on which the railway ties are laid.


The path to and from the house is through the blue chicory and yellow yarrow along the track. In the distance are 12 or so empty coal cars on a siding. The cloudscape shows a building thunder storm coming - but not before there was a very red sunset.

What happens when there really isn't a lot of stuff to photo except blue sky, blue flowers and a chemin de fer?

Well, I thought this photo turned out rather well. I think this could be used as an image of how we see our precious resources - Stretching To Infinity.
