Old Barracks

So with the cold weather deciding to pay us a visit I was not going to far outside today. Therefore, I am using another shot from our trip to Cranbrook. BC. This is a shot of the wooden barracks of the North West Mounted Police at Fort Steele Heritage Village. I did buy a self-guided booklet of the Village when I was there which gives more info on the buildings in the Village but I have misplaced it somewhere so I cannot give you anymore info on it but I thought it made a nice shot for todays word being wood

[Dave Griffiths]

Neat!

[Tim]

Wonderful shot of some great old buildings.

[Chris]

Indeed it is a good shot. Like the lines.

[Danette Thompson]

It is an excellent wood shot. Since I have seen some of the cold weather you have been out in, it must be incredibly cold!

[Maggiemae]

So it is like a museum? Not anyboy living there now? Those wooden constructed buildings last forever!
