Bruce Dean (Puchinpappy)'s photos

Found in Rossland, British Columbia, Canada. I went spelunking into my archives for this week’s SSC. Wheels.

This zinc and lead smelter is the lifebood of the small town of Trail, British Columbia. It is the reason for the existence of this town. In the early 90s the smelter was changed to hydro electric power and coal was retired. The environment immediately improved. Most of what you see coming from the smokestacks is steam. This photograph is SOOC. The two large smokestacks look as though they have been processed in to the picture. It looks a little strange but this is how it looked to the camera.

I am fairly certain this is a Purple Martin colony. The female is coming in for a landing. The darker birds are the male.

This small swarm of bugs was reflecting the late evening light. Bug and sunlight bokeh. TSC - I am using this as a placeholder until I can prepar a lens cover for the challenge. I am currently travelling so I will not get this weeks challenge done properly unril later.

They have the idea for a keystone but this example is still in rough. This is actually naturally forming. Close up in note. At Þingvellir National Park, Iceland.
