This bike path is just north of my home in NW Calgary. When Burnco purchased the land for future use as a gravel pit they agreed to create a bike path 2 km in length. They obeyed to the letter and the path starts in the middle of nowhere and abruptly ends.

How very sad about the bike path - either that info wasn't there when I commented before or I missed it. And what a waste! By the way, I still love this shot.
