Sir James Open Pit Mine in the Ontario badlands

I photographed this spot at the photography workshop I was on last weekend. This treeless zone is a unique window for viewing the ice-age landscape of the normally forested Canadian Shield. Apparently this is a fabulous blueberry picking area in the month of August!

Thank you for your comments and favs on yesterday's snow scene it was a nice surprise to see that it made it to the PP!

scary looking place. Hard to imagine blueberries growing on the rocks (I know that is not what you were implying...)

Beautifully captured. It looks like a n interesting area :)

Beautiful shot, Kathy. Love the rustic feel. Lots of blueberries = lots of bears. I'm right behind you, honest.

Stark but beautiful in the snow- it makes me think of Norway (although I've never been there and I know this is not a fjord!).

[FBailey]

Fabulous - the icy blue of the water makes this for me
