Rural landscapes: entry to the valley

RANCH GATEWAY, NEAR DRUMHELLER, ALBERTA, CANADA

This scene had everything I wanted – strong winter lighting, compelling scenery and a rustic focal point. After several tries, this is the exposure that I found most pleasing. It’s quite wide-angle and photographed from close to the ground. This combination pushed it as far into the sky as possible, beyond the white clouds and breaking up the blue. Nikon D7100, tripod, polarizing filter.
