Morant's Curve

Finally got a decent picture of this iconic scene as a train traveled thru along the Bow River.

 

Morant’s Curve is named for Nicholas Morant, a staff photographer for the Canadian Pacific Railway. For 44 years, he crisscrossed the country on passenger trains. He photographed hotels, steamships, trucks, airplanes, oil wells, and mines, for the CPR. He chronicled the times, writing for the company magazine as well as photographing developments on the railway. Wouldn't that be a great job! His photos have been used on the backs of $10, $50 and $100 Canadian bills.

 

Enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!
