Alberta Prairie

Thanks Barbara. I see you’ve spent some time in northern Canada and the US as well. I go up to the Yukon every February to work up there with a photographer. On this year’s trip we also hit Atlin, British Columbia, which is only accessible from the Yukon side (north) of the border. Pretty country up there. One of these days I’m going up in the summer to experience the midnight sun.

Beautiful! The clouds really have a 3-D feel.

Thanks Colleen. Yes, I think the clouds make this shot.

Amazing shot and great composition!

Landscape !!!!

fabulous

Thanks everyone for your comments!

LOVE the clouds. Great work!

very awesome shot

Very calming…..

Thanks again folks! I shall be out driving on the prairies today again, so maybe I’ll find something good to photograph.

My goodness, this is really stunning! I just love the isolated tree and those beautiful clouds. There’s such a great sense of stillness in this picture.

Thanks Elaine. It is one of those moments when everything happened all at once: The scene, the lighting, my position when photographing it, and being there at the right time. I look for those kinds of scenes all the time now and they are rare, or I see them while driving and can’t pull over, or don’t have a camera with me.

Love to see this and some of your other best work here
Have a read of the rules and guidelines:))

Thanks Ralph. I’m very interested in this group!

Beautiful!!!!

Thank you so much!

Favourite! This is sooo gorgeous Marlene. I love the colours and the detail. I can see why people would think it was a painting! :o)

Thank you!

Excellent capture!

Thanks Lawrence

Fantastic landscape! Great composition and a very nice DOF! Nicely done.

Wonderful capture. The pack of clouds hovering over the lonely tree, expanding towards the corners. Composition, light… it indeed all fell in the right place at the right time.
