Calgary - big city, but small compared to land and sky


I took this distant view of Calgary from the parking lot at the Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation Area two days ago, on 17 May 2013. The sky was pretty dramatic and there was a beautiful opening in the clouds when I was driving back home along Highway 22X, so I quickly drove up this gravel road, hoping to catch the glorious rays of light. Took just too long and the rays had vanished, but I always love to see our city way off in the distance, surrounded by rolling hills and fields. The same dramatic clouds were there yesterday, too, when I drove down to Frank Lake, SW of the city. Why is it that the big, dark clouds seem to roll in each time I go to Frank Lake, lol? Had a good time at Frank Lake, mainly enjoying photographing the spectacular Eared Grebes with their brilliant red "button" eyes. When I first arrived there, I was just in time to see three White-faced Ibis flying over the lake and then, later, three of four flew overhead again. No chance to get anything but a very distant shot of black Ibis-shaped silhouettes, ha. Good to know they are back there, as usual, though.
