Lindental


This is a beautiful area just outside of Lindental, Switzerland. Not only is the area gorgeous, but it is also an amazing place for bouldering.
These are some of the local flora that grows around Tombstone Mountain.

Tombstone Mountain

This a view of the Tombstone valley can be found on the Dempster Highway in the Yukon. It is said that one must never venture behind Tombstone mountain, for the soil is radioactive beyond fatal levels.

This rare and beautiful area of Canada's Arctic is under proposal for mining development, but with your help through the writing of a letter to the Yukon Government we can raise enough attention to stop this proposal before it is too late.

Please rally your support for this cherished environment. Use the link below to write a short letter that will be sent via CPAWS (Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society) in protest of the mining that would forever destroy this area.

Canadian National Railway


This old CNR train is on display at the Alberta Railway Museum, in Alberta, Canada. Engine 9000 is their prime specimen. It is a lovely balance between power and design.
