The first is the Smallville High School from Superman the movie. It is located in Barons, Alberta.
The next one is the best location I have ever seen. It was the Kent farm from Superman the Movie. It seems like nobody knew it's location or if it even existed. It was a real tough one to find..but we did it!! It is outside of Blcakie, Alberta.
The first pic is from the movie..the rest are mine. :)
This next location is a canyon called Beynon, Alberta. It is quite remote and the orads were horrribly muddy and soft. We SHOULD have taken a 4x4..we had a few close calls!
This is a comparison showing the image from the movie and my photo. Those grain elevators are gone now. Too bad.
This was Lana Lang's house in Superman III. It is in High River, Alberta.
Also in High River was the Smallville High School (for Superman III).
Again in High River, this was the Smallville town square where they had the celebration to honor Superman.
This parking lot across the street was actually where the stage was that Superman was sitting on.

Very impressive pictures Jason. I had no idea that so many place in Canada were used in the Superman movie.
You guys are killing me!!!!
I'm so jealous you've both seen some Awesome movie spots.
I bet that was allot of fun, Was it cold there?
I could live out there and not miss the city life at all.
Just the snow would be the only problem :o)

We went on some cooler days..but its finally getting a little more summery around here.
I'll likely go back to the farm for a few more good pics next weekend when a freind is in town. My goal is to take a good camera (borring a friend's) and do a complete circle of shots from between the hosue and barn, and from the end of the driveway (this time the correct one from the film).
:)
Hey Jason...neat pics...
We actually own the property at Beynon (in the foreground on the right hand side of your pic)....We love the peace and quiet when we are out there...haven't made the trek up the hill south of us to see the house..
All the best....

Hi Mur!
How did yo stumble on my blog?! So yo own the property surrounded by tree with the RV in the yard? My picture was taken from the north side of the valley which seems to be the best access from the highway.
How long have you owned the property? Were you there during filming??
Thanks for the message!
Jason

Thanks for the great pictures! I attended Barons Consolidated School from Grade 1 to Grade 6. You picture brings back memories.
Thanks again.
Hi, I'm in High River, Alberta and would like to visit some of the Superman film sites you mention on your blog -- but all the pictures appear to be broken. Could you repost?
Hey DangerRuss
Not sure about the others, but the school is in Barons, AB on Google Maps with a picture:

It is Barons Consolidated School, or it was when I went there. You can find the other towns, but not sure about the specific locations.
Have fun!
