This is what we drove through on 27th January, on our way to the Langdon area east of Calgary! We were hoping to see a Snowy Owl or two, but we were out of luck for those. In places, the weather was awful, with blowing snow drifting across the road and resulting in very low visibility. I sharpened this image the full amount, to give it a slight texture to bring out the rather soft tree silhouettes. I might just delete it, however, as I know there is little to it - couldn't decide whether to upload it or not.

I don't often get to see a sunrise, LOL, but it really is worth getting up at some ridiculously early time to be reminded of the beauty I usually miss. Spent the whole day on Saturday 22nd December, from 6:10 a.m.. (to those of you who know me well, yes, A.M.!) till early evening, on a Christmas Bird Count north-east of the city, in the Drumheller area. I hadn't been out this way for maybe 12 years, so I REALLY appreciated the chance to be driven out there! Drumheller is a fascinating area, out in the Prairies, and is the land of the badlands and the dinosaurs. Not a bad day weather-wise, though it was very cold. Dropped down to -21C, but had soared to a balmy -4C when we got back to Calgary. Don't you just hate electricity/telephone wires, LOL? They seem to be everywhere.
