Lames d'acier
Can anyone guess what is made in this factory in Gaspe? The finished product is all laid out on the right. Hundreds of them! They are not something that is often seen in BC, they are used in a type of "farm" and they help the environment....sort of.
Any Guesses?
A fellow crew member pointed this huge crater out to me the other day. It is over 5 miles wide. That is pretty big in my books. This crater is on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River near Sept Iles. I have seen another crater more than twice this size in diameter and it has been cut in half by the St. Lawrence River. I have tried taking pictures of it but it is quite eroded and doesn't really show up in a photo, but it can definitely be seen from the air.
This is a shot of Quebec City. The old town is located at the bottom of the picture where the red and white Coast Guard vessels are moored. For those of you that have not been to Quebec City, it is a great place to come and visit.
This is a little bit of the coastline of Eastern Quebec approaching Bonaventure Island and Perce Rock. Yesterday, I learned of the significance of Bonaventure Island and the Gannets that inhabit the cliffs. Rocher Perce when translated to English means Pierced Rock and if you look at the links I've provided in this paragraph, you'll see a picture of the natural sea arch that gives the Rock it's name.
Many of you have seen pictures of Perce Rock before on this blog, but we had the opportunity to fly quite low on this trip from Les Iles de Madeline to Gaspe. From 1500 feet above sea level it is a great shot.
This is a view of the rock in the winter. Look chilly, doesn't it?
PS - There is a hint in the title to the answer of the riddle!

My guess is some sort of contained for silage - you stick the wet hay in one end and take it out the other in the winter.
Nice pictures of Quebec.
BJR
Its the propeller like arms for the windmill farms which are all over the hills in Alberta and the Prairies, they look great on a ridge and up close they are massive, the whooshing noise they make is quite pehnomenal when you stand right under one and look down the line to 20 and more!!
As for the crater, an asteroid thousands of years ago, or....from the iron ore excavation around Sept Isles?
those are my guesses....
Nice blog, that one "flat" picture of the rock in winter looks like a frozen t-bone steak......
