The Brooks Aqueduct has been on my short list of locations in Alberta to photograph for quite some time now and two weekends ago I found the time to make the ~2 hour drive to Brooks in search of this National Historic Site. Unfortunately, the aqueduct was quite poorly signed and the map on their website was nowhere near detailed enough…but after a little bit of Googling on my phone I eventually found my way there.
I won’t go into the details of the history behind the aqueduct (you can find that here) but I will say it was built over 90 years ago and was once a water-carrying lifeline for southern Alberta. Very cool to see a piece of my province’s history.
