I happened to be cruising around South of the Great Slave Lake (on Google Earth, I'm sorry to say)
and came across this absolutely magical sight....

I'd love to hear the story behind these...

In reply to Tall Clare:

Me too - they are obviously reasonable recent. The only thing in the area is an abandoned mining town, Pine Point. And when I say abandoned, I mean abandoned - buildings removed. The roads, core samples spoil pits (clearly polluted as hell) are still there, and there's a whimsical pedestrian crossing!

They're just having a meeting. Probably discussing a range of subjects. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Including next year's batch of new routes on Les Perrons!

That's so prosaic, Jon. Where's your sense of mystery?
Why can't they use a standard meeting room? Who is going to supply coffee?
They must be plotting....

Looks to me like they are supervising

In reply to Trangia:

No, that can't be right. I've never seen a supervisor with no-one at all to supervise. I've seen department heads where they are the only person in the department....

Ah, they are supervising the photographer!

Perhaps the scene of a death on the road? That's what I'd think if it was in Britain...

Someone recently showed me a rather nice photo-blog thing with beautiful and/or unusual shots from streetview:

Number one on the agenda - expelling member #2643 Grylls E. from the Great Slave Lake chapter for misrepresentation and generally giving bears a bad name.
"Hmmm, good point Simon. Carried. Next..."
"Thank you Richard. Well I think we should floss more often..."

Those are great - they encapsulate the human condition. Beautiful, funny, sad and quite often a little worrying.

I'd never really though about driving the google car as a dangerous job.

There was I expecting to see some natural beauty, instead what I get is the eye sore of a line of old chairs and teddies. This thread is meant to be a joke, right?

(not laughing)
