I found countless amounts of #rusted #iron pieces scattered all through the forest & there was lots on the beach below too. I thought it was bark at first but when I picked some up - found out it's iron & not from trees.
We were bummed to see this frozen #BlackTar pool, it was the largest one - amongst many smaller #TarPools & #tar puddles. You could smell the yucky #toxic scent before seeing them.

I don't know what these two huge pieces of #industrial #machinery are or what they were used for. There's really no info provided at the site to help identify the old abandoned things that you see there. If you know what these are, please educate me - TIA!
We decolonized a BC government sign before leaving the site. We saw many toxic black tar pools, all across this abandoned coal mine site.

Some of the #ruins that are believed to be the former house of the #Suquash #CoalMining boss. Cool old #masonry work.

#Suquash was the site of the first #CoalMine on #VancouverIsland. It still has lots of cool ruins & abandoned #mining #industrial machinery in the middle of the forest & on the beach below. It's very isolated & you'll likely see no one else around, if you go. It's just slightly north of #PortMcNeill town centre.
I often take friends here, when visiting North Island because the site has many different elements. The forest has a section where multiple trees were split down the middle by lightening strikes. New trees, plants & fungi are growing out of the burned out trees. The beach is full of prehistoric fossils of ancient marine animals. It is well worth a day visit. Follow flags to avoid getting lost there - it's easy to lose yourself in dense forest, if the site is unfamiliar to you. Carry a big stick & poke the ground before walking ahead - to avoid falling into hidden sinkholes.
The site still needs environmental clean up. There's still lots of black, greasy, toxic water that bubbles up from underground. The government only put up danger signs but they've otherwise abandoned this site.

Red Canyon. It's similar to Bryce Canyon - but is BLM managed public land on the side of the road.
It's incredible how the forest just stops and turns into a desert right on that line.

The Mars Desert Research station is a private facility in a remote area of Utah in which scientists simulate living on Mars.
They chose the are because... well, for obvious reasons.

People seem to be interested in Uranium Springs, the wasteland compound out in the Arizona desert.
Here's a video @jenniedale and I made of the place when we were in the area.

Down a long, dirt, not very good road in Sun Valley Arizona - near the Petrified Forest National Park... is Reverend Lawless' Uranium Springs.
It's a dystopian community of engineers and builders that spend their free time in a Mad Max like post apocalyptic civilization.

Calf Creek Canyon in Boulder, Utah is stunning. Lush green trees carve through deep red rock covered in otherworldly looking dramatic hoodoos.
It's a river of trees.

I see things like this all around and every time I hear Jeff Goldblum in my head.

Good afternoon. Here are some pics taken today.
#Strathnairn is an terrific arts precinct thriving on the outskirts of #Canberra with a popular community cafe.These views, fresh scones, hot beverege, and feathered visitors - all with a live band playing gently in the background - a lovely way to recharge for the work week ahead.
Canberra is more than politics.

This is Factory Butte. It's a Mars like landscape in Utah, USA. It's actually so Mars like - that there's an actual facility called the Mars Desert Research Station out there.
Scientists spend 6 months at a time, isolated out in the harsh landscape to simulate what life would be like on Mars.
Some day, we might all be glad they did.
