Old and new
Fields of golden stubble
Jazzed-up silos
A frosty prairie view
Fenced in
The old and the new

Wide open spaces
Lost as the sun sets
Driving in a sea of gold
Clouds over Frank Lake
Our wonderful Alberta skies

Here comes the rain
The landscape is pretty flat in the areas around the city to the north, south and east, including around Frank Lake, SE of Calgary, but I love it. Land and sky just seem to go on and on forever.
This photo was taken on 6 April 2014, when I went with a group of 10 friends to Frank Lake for several hours. This was a "by car" day with barely any walking. Sometimes when we pull over and get out, I can be found looking in the opposite direction to everyone else, taking a photograph of something totally unrelated to birds, lol. You need binoculars or a scope to see most of the birds we come across, which I don't have, but I can never resist the scenery. Many of the fields were clear of snow that day. I never fail to be in awe of the wide view of land and sky, especially when the very distant Rocky Mountains are seen in the background. Looks like some places were perhaps getting rain.
The last two days here in Alberta, we were under a Severe Thunderstorm Alert. There was some flooding in Calgary and a major hail storm dropping golf-ball-sized hailstones, especially in the town of Airdrie, just north of Calgary. Millions of dollars of damage done. In my part of the city, we had just a bit of rain for a while.
