Actually it's in Southern Alberta - Dinosaur Provincial Park, about 120 miles south-east of Calgary
You are right, it looks nothing like this...

These things are scattered all over the grain growing areas of the US & Canada, so we saw a lot of them in our trip. Because the land is so flat, & every town with a set of rail track running through it has or had one, you can see them from miles away.
I loved this old rundown one we found in the Missouri Breaks, an incredibly remote area in Northern Montana.
(There's that old boomerang of mine again - top right of picture this time!)
The "Alien Landscape" photo ...great pic but... eh? explain? what is it? What's the misty bits on the top corners? :scratch:

It's called Orange Spring Mound and it's in Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. There are some hot springs which carry mineral deposits here. The mound is just basically a huge pile of kettle-scale! Geologically speaking it's travertine rock. It's slowly engulfing the trees at the base, which it killed long ago. The thing is about 12-14 feet tall & the springs vent out of holes in the top - hence the steam you're seeing.
The orange colour is derived from thermophilic bacteria that live in the moisture. The colours in the photo are particularly vivid because it was raining and sunny.
............Spooky place!
Looks like Texas Chainsaw Massacre country, Chris! :uhho:Quote:
