top) this is the first sign you see when you are driving north into weyburn from the states. i pulled off the road to take this picture, and actually have a few more of it that turned out really nice. the machine gun is actually a sign for a tractor lot which makes it even better, just machines and guns hanging out with tractors a regular day on the prairies. no big deal.

second from top) most retro water tower ever. Lang is north of weyburn towards regina, and right on a busy two lane hwy. taking pictures of this is awkward with massive tanker trucks and farm equipment buzzing past you. i'll try again though.

second from bottom) yeah, it is that flat. i am not sure if i can get over it. the rolling hills in the badlands are really nice, and the layers of grass give a simple and uniform effect when pushed by wind and weather.

bottom) remind me not to buy my beef from the guy who owns these cows. they inject different chemicals back into the ground when they take all of the oil out... something like that i am not a geologist. these cows are eating toxic grass, and their utters glow bright pink in the moonlight.
