Oil Rigs and Watering Holes
Waterloo to Calgary in a Cessna 150
Alternating with the cattle watering holes (those patches
on the ground with dark centres and spidery spokes),
another prairie feature appears that's not familiar to us in
Waterloo Region.
Circular or square patches at the end of at least one wide
line (a road), have dark centres brightened with painted
spots of red or blue.
These are oil rigs, set up to pump the "black gold" out of
the depths of the earth. Here we see two of the over 70 in
Saskatchewan.
The sun is high; we barely see the hydro lines & shadows.
Friday, July 11 - Leg 12: Swift Current to Medicine Hat
