Alberta bound

Alkaline deposits in an S curve. Wouldn't this be a terrific sunset spot? Too bad we had no time to stop.
The Saamis Teepee is a roadside attraction located in Medicine Hat, Alberta. It is the largest teepee in the world standing giant 215 Feet (65.5 Metres) and was originally built for the 1988 Winter Olympics that were held in Calgary Alberta as a symbol of Canada's native heritage.
These deer were along the roadside, as we turned into the Medicine Hat, Alberta, information center, where we stopped for lunch.
This structure was across the road from the Maple Creek Junction where we stopped for gas.
Golden fields at the end of July. I am not sure what the crop is.

The cows in the sage. I like the slant of the railroad track. I believe the coes are perpendicular.

Rolling hills of Southwestern Sask and southeastern Alta. is primarily ranching country and oil industry.

more alkalai. I liked the bales in the distant field.
An abstract with the colors saturated somewhat. The curves of the hills and the straight line of the railroad tracks for more contrasts.
An oil well.

August 1st - Swift Current to Pincher Creek, Alberta. This was another good travel day. The showers at the campsite last night were coin-op but very good showers. We stopped at Maple Creek Junction to get fuel. Next stop was Medicine Hat information center for lunch. Eggs, ham and cheese in a bun.

The land of the living skies

I have my camera set to take the wide format. This is the last photo before we find our campsite for the nite at Swift Current.
Sodium Sulfate being mined at Chaplin, Sask.
More of the mineral used in industry.

I could have cropped out the cows but I rather like the whimsical aspect of them sitting at the top of the frame.





On July 31 we drove from Wadena to our campsite at Swift Current, Sask. The rolling hills in the primarily ranching area around Swift Current are very picturesque. As you can see quite a few of my photos are done while in a moving vehicle. I don't mind the blur, it seems to add a 'impressionistic' quality to the photos that hold grasses moving in the wind, even if the photos were taken with camera on tripod. I like the motion.
