I can't fold yet Peter ... but don't have a good comeback.  Just more rocks. PS: A bit of geographical trivia. The Milk River flows through this Alberta park that's right on the Montana/Alberta border. The Milk River heads south across the line a flows into the Missouri River, then to the Mississippi and eventually into the Gulf of Mexico. Who knew? A long route.  |

Writing on stone? Here's a stone fireplace in the middle of nowhere but don't try lighting a fire there or you'll be in trouble with Parks Canada (they own the island)  |

This is a stretch. Peter's image shows a jumble of large stones..here are over 100 million tons of rock!!  This is a a two-shot pano of Frank Slide in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. Shot from a small plane in 2013. (Note: The Frank Slide was a rockslide that buried part of the mining town of Frank, Northwest Territories, Canada, at 4:10 a.m. on April 29, 1903. Around 110 million tonnes of limestone rock slid down Turtle Mountain. Alberta was not incorporated until 1015, thus the reference to "Northwest Territories.")  |

While I don't have a landscape image nearly as beautiful as yours Clive I can somewhat make a match with this rather barren landscape shot taken from an airplane (as yours was) as we were coming in to land in Bucharest, Romania.  |

More planes ... Snowbirds at the Lethbridge Air Show, July 2013.  |

I'll match your 4 planes, with a single C-124 that has 4 engines. Prior to the US Air Force adopting the C-5 the C-124 had the largest payload capacity - both physical size and weight.  |

And at the other end of the flying spectrum this radio controlled plane has one engine, is made of Styrofoam, weighs a couple of pounds but is real fun to fly.  |

Another spectrum ... the SR-71, developed during the cold war, still holds speed and altitude records for normally aspirated aircraft.  |

Peter and Wayne those are some skookum aircraft! Wow. A tad less horsepower here. de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver coming onto Hearne Lake Lodge, Northwest Territories, June 2018. Missed this year, but planning to go again next June.  |

i.ibb.co/GFDsjkr/DSCA-0079.jpgThis is one of the only two Lancasters still flying! The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engine heavy bomber used by the Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth air forces during World War II. Of the 7,377 aircraft built, 3,736 were lost during the War (3,249 in action and 487 in ground accidents). Today 17 remain in complete form, two of which are airworthy, and eight of which are in Canada. Only four of the surviving 17 – KB839, KB882, R5868, and W4783 – flew operational sorties over Continental Europe during the War.
