well here's what im doing now.

I work for the Railway, building and maintaining the track.
it's kinda of a unique job but I like it,get to see alot of stuff not too many other people have seen. pays not bad but the expensises and benfits could be better.

anyway here's a couple of pictures, this is up in Terrace in case your curious. wish i had some better pictures but it's hard to get a chance to take pictures while your out there.









Here's a couple pics of some pretty scenery that i get to work in.

ya some of the things you get to see out there are pretty cool but I never have a camera or im busy.

like when your going through the tunnels up in the mountains and you can see the entrances to 4 or 5 more tunnels in row from the the one your in it's pretty neat. plus some of the architectour is neat as well, some of these tunnels were built in the 19th and early 20'th centuries. you can sometimes see old graves and what not out there too. lots of history out there that most people dont even know exsists.

Kyle.

real neat pictures. It would be nice to work in an area that is really pretty and has a LOT of history.
