We are a fast growing town with subdivisions going up all over the place. In fact it is too fast with too many subdivisions.
However, maybe we should be called Bedrock because it lies very close to the surface.
This is a rock pile from excavating one subdivision and there is another just like it right behind. The two images, below, are from the one photo. I just cropped the first version to, hopefully, show the rock more clearly.
Now, please hum The Flintstones ditty with me, will ya?
And it’s not that soft sandstone either!
ReplyDeleteWow, a lot of rock, you said it! Building is being demanded everywhere these days.
ReplyDeleteI am always so surprised to see how shallow the soil is here.
ReplyDeleteYikes.
ReplyDeleteI wonder that they don't have difficulties with installing septic tanks--or perhaps all is done with sewers and water treatment plants.
ReplyDeleteCanada is a really different country for sure. It seems so strange that most of your population is situated along your southern border with so much emptiness to the north. I understand the why but have never seen another country quite like it.
ReplyDeleteHard like a rock! Loved your photo shoot of the meeting in the park. Always nice to see those 2 sisters.
ReplyDeleteHard like a rock! Loved your photos of Sue and Heather in the park.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the rock? Wondering if you're in the laurentian shield? Here's summoning up your geography knowledge as a former teacher.
ReplyDeleteThat's a BIG hunk of rock! My house sits in a development where a quarry used to be. So, digging holes for anything is a challenge.
ReplyDeleteHumming away.... plenty of rock for some new tyres for Barny's car
ReplyDeleteThank you for the email explanation, John. Great stuff. I knew you'd know.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they have to dig out so much material for a subdivision.
ReplyDeleteI had to come back to say it: 'Yabba Dabba Do!'
ReplyDeleteIs this soft or could it be turned into gravel?
ReplyDelete@Kay. This is genuine rock. I don't know what will happen to it.
ReplyDelete@Red. For foundations and basements.
ReplyDeleteYour photos reminded me of areas in Alberta, but they were natural occuring mounds of rock. And if doug ford has his way, there will be a lot more digging!
ReplyDeleteBedrock is a good name for that place, for sure!
ReplyDeleteA lot of rock.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the title I thought, "Isn't that where Fred and Wilma lived?"
