Rural landscapes: on the edge of spring

HOMESTEAD NEAR PINCHER CREEK, ALBERTA, CANADA

In the deep south of this province, landscapes tend to be epic. In this case, I loved the contrast of golden prairie and snowy peaks in early morning light. So I used a 70-300-mm. zoom lens, tripod, polarizing filter and a Nikon D7100 to bring it all together.

Great composition and nice colours! Beautiful with the snowcapped mountains. Would be a lovely place to live during the summer, but probably a bit harsh over winter.
