From the "DOME"

So far, I have blogged about the first leg of our trip to B.C.

There was the Winnipeg Exchange District, The Marine Building, Granville Island, and The Fringe Festival.

To-day's blog will feature pictures taken from the dome car as we travel across the Prairies and through the Rockies.

Here we have the Potash Mines in Saskatchewan, which were recently in the news because of a hostile takeover bid by BHP of Australia.

This is our first glimpse of the Rockies as we approach Edmonton.

Here, the train takes us alongside the Fraser River, and the mountains.


Looking across the Fraser River at the beginnings of the Rockies.

It started to rain, so there are some droplets on the car window which I cannot remove, without some serious work in Photoshop.



Up ahead, we can see the mist hanging over the mountains.

This is the first snow-peaked mountain to appear on our trip through this province.
