Yay, Superman!

Yesterday, I spent a wonderful, fun day with my youngest daughter, driving the backroads SE of Calgary. Some of the roads were familiar to me, but others were new territory, which gave us a chance to discover some different abandoned barns. We knew where our destination was going to be, more or less, though it was disappointing that the "heat wave" distortion was just too great to get distant, zoomed photos. Unfortunately, it was quite a hazy day, which really didn't help. Once we got really close, the problem thankfully went away.

Another place we were hoping to be able to find was the Superman (Kent) farmhouse and barn from the 1978 "Superman: The Movie". We had both seen photos on the Internet that other people had taken, and knew that we would do our best to find this location. I was up till the early hours of this morning, Googling information about this place, it was so fascinating. This is where young Superman arrived as a baby and spent his younger years. I should add that this is private property (naturally) and this photo was respectfully taken from the road. Will add more information when I've "dealt with" the other two images I've just uploaded.

Apparently, a family member of the now owner of the property says that the family "does have plans to restore this property in it’s present state."
