'Superman, where are you now?'

'Superman, where are you now?'
It was so weird yesterday! I drove SE of the city to the Frank Lake area in the afternoon, hoping that I would not have another day where I'd come home without taking a single photo. The previous day, 14 February 2015, I had driven all the way NW of the city, hoping that there might be some sight of the Northern Hawk Owl. However, I was out of luck. Thankfully, it rarely happens that I take no photos during a few hours outdoors.

Yesterday, there was one area in particular that I wanted to explore. Most of the roads were backroads that I've never driven and I found it so hard to keep track of which direction I was driving. Easy enough when I was home looking at Google Earth, but a whole different story when I was out there.

One of the roads, that I had driven a couple of times before, took me past this old barn and homestead. I had a CD playing and a few minutes before I reached this barn, the song, 'Superman, where are you now?' started playing. The weird part is that this barn and old homestead were used in the first Superman Movie in 1978! Talk about coincidence! This whole area had me totally in a 'Land of confusion', as singer Phil Collins would say in that song.

This is where young Superman arrived as a young child and spent his younger years. I should add that this is private property (naturally) and this photo was respectfully taken from the road.

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."
