Rural landscapes: the look of Africa

PRAIRIE SUNRISE NEAR CALGARY, ALBERTA

As the spring sunrise approached, I looked for something to use as a silhouette and found these gnarled trees. As I look back on this scene now–photographed this month back in 2011–I’m struck by how these shapes resemble trees on the African savanna.
