Today I went on my first "flickr meet" with the [Calgary group]. We headed off to the small town of Hanna, well primarily the derelict Roundhouse and then to the A&W (for those that haven't experienced Canada that's a fast-food restaurant chain). The roudhouse was pretty cool with lots of different material to work with (though it was bloody cold, lets just say I'm going to turn into an icicle over the winter here)...

Lets start with a mosaic of the site...

Inside it was pretty eerie, as if people had just left their cars and ran from the impending disaster which didn't happen just neglect...

One side of the building had collapse leaving wood everywhere...

...the world is destroyed so where am I walking to..

.. the use of military action (in the form of paintballs) was obvious:

After a nice veggie burger at A&W we headed onto the ghost town (well almost) of Dorothy (I'm wondering what's with all the girls names...) which I think is in the Canadian Badlands (no I'm not being a Cardassian... if you don't know what that means then that's fine to be confused, I'm thinking of one person in particular).

Downtown Dorothy...

Dorothy Catholic Church, originally built in 1912 as a School, became a church 1944, last mass October 22, 1967...

Dorothy population 2 number of Churches 2... a divided community?

Dorothy has some high tech security systems...

Of course, however, it does have a grain elevator from the days of population...

Oh and we stopped off to look at some hoodoos on the way back...
