Alberta Farmstead

My friend Terry and I decided to road trip out to the prairies yesterday with no plan...just s top through Drumheller and then make our way back via the side roads to Calgary. It was nice to get away from the piles of homework I have sitting on my desk. I have 8 assignments due this week and a midterm to write sometime before tomorrow.
Anyhow I had fun but the wind was ice cold and brutal...I could hardly stand up straight let alone hold the camera...so we cut it a bit short. We will go back in a couple weeks to try again and take another route.

Here's another from our adventure.



In this one you can see the flat blown down grasses from the wind. Most of the time it was "see a shot, run out of the car, get a few shots at different angles, run back to the car ASAP to warm up and prevent frostbite!" I think I did okay under the circumstances!



One more thing I should note...I have decided to reduce the image quality in any future images I post that I am posting on flickr. With all the theft/copyright infringement of late, for me, I feel this is the best way I have to prevent illegal copying of images. They can have the shot, but not do too much with it as far as printing or enlarging goes. So forgive me if the aren't as large as before or as detailed, I am just not willing to post them at full quality/resolution any more.
