A little while ago I started a project called Old and New.  At the time I didn't think it would be that interesting and just a way to keep me busy while not photographing people or going on trips.  I keep looking for interesting pictures of around Lethbridge.  I even did a little research on a trip to Halifax and it was an interesting way to see the city to look for the old buildings.  I like this project cause it encompasses architecture, the eye for the shot, and the technical and artistic way of putting it all together.   




While out and about the other day, I went around a photographed a few more places.  One interesting place was right beside the High Level bridge.  I found a photograph of the Incline Railway, 1890.  I was able to find the spot where it was located and with the photo matched it up with the far coulees.  It is interesting as it shows the switch in technologies, as the Incline Railway, in its time was an advancement in the coal industry.  Then the High Level bridge, it self an engineering feat.    The possibilities for the project are endless and I will keep posting these pictures when I get them finished.   The best part is finding the interesting pictures of the past and connecting them to our time.  


  

As always, in everyone of these photos, I have to give credit where it is deserved and this old photo is courtesy of the Galt Museum and Archives.
