Deadmans Flats is a place caught between the tranquility of nature and the boom of development. While you sit by the river and notice everything you see is gorgeous and unspoiled, your ears are assaulted by sound pollution coming from the nearby Trans Canada Highway. Amongst the vehicular noise you can also hear construction on a condominium project which is footsteps away, along with the occasional helicopter on a sightseeing trip from nearby Canmore. Even this "pristine" mountain itself is a myth, as the lower left hand side (just out of the range of this photo) is scarred by a surface mine. With all the development in the area this place will not remain as it was on this day - April 8, 2007.
