A solitary cow in the lower left grazing in the Big Muddy Valley in southern Saskatchewan. The fence, I suppose, is to keep livestock from straying, although the grass doesn't look greener on the other side.

Two young people in traditional costume (on the left) prepare to create a video of their Indigenous dance, on a ledge at Castle Butte. The image gives you an idea of the size of the butte, which dominates the immediate area in the Big Muddy Badlands of Saskatchewan.

There is nothing on the sign to indicate the name of this church, in the small community of Big Beaver, although it is obviously well maintained. The sawhorse by the entrance suggests some maintenance work is going on.

A stretch of highway in the Big Muddy Valley that sees little traffic. A photographer can work in the middle of the highway if needed, since you can see and hear vehicles coming from a long distance away.

People enjoying the view of the Big Muddy Valley from atop Castle Butte. It was about 33C that day, so I expect they had worked up a sweat making the climb.
