Vista

[casil403]

So I'm out yesterday with my pal Terry and we are doing what we usually do... get in the car at first light, grab a Timmy's, pick a direction and go...no plans we never know where we will end up. We usually try to stay off the main roads and highways and just get lost on the sideroads. So we turn off onto a side road and climb a bit only to discover this incredible vista waiting at the top...I had my breath taken away and was pretty dumbstruck and speechless when we stumbled on it...literally.



Am posting it large because it just doesn't seem right to post small photo of such an amazing vista!

I can definitely see why you were in such awe Casil. Amazing beauty captured so well. Nice job.

(only thing is, the bright green well pump keeps dragging my eye down there)

Thanks HBG... here is another try at it I pulled out the oil pump...any better?

I like the first one better; besides, it's a typical Alberta piece of hardware .... where abouts did you take this shot? Looks like somewhere along the Highwood River highway ....

I am a bit partial to the first as well Matt. thought it might be a bit of an alternative focal point other than the vista....never too bad to post the occasional alternative idea though.

I took this somewhere on one of the side roads to get to the Highwood highway to Longview (40?). We kind of paralleled highway 22 on the gravel roads...I think I could get there again if prompted....let me know and we will go sometime! there was all kinds of neat stuff there...wildflowers too!
