Lost Icon | Adventure Lifestyle Photographer


Here is one landscape you will never see like this again.

Two weeks ago I was scouting the Valley east of Drumheller and stopped by the HooDoos to check their condition. When I pulled up there was a construction fence across the front and a notice that the area was under construction in order to protect the site from further damage. It seams that through natural erosion and the public climbing on them, they have started to deteriorate quickly.

It is really too bad that now something that was an icon needs to be covered in fences and barriers to protect it. Very ironic. I wonder how people would feel if we did that to some of the more frequented places in the Rockies. Maybe it wont be long. These amazing natural landscapes will soon no longer be great to photograph.
