Rural landscapes: the wintery dawn

SUNRISE AFTER THE AUTUMN SNOWFALL, NEAR BLACK DIAMOND, ALBERTA

Winter often arrives early in the prairies, foothills and mountains of this western Canadian province. I ventured out a few days after a significant snowfall and was blessed to find scenes like this. I went for a shallow depth of field so the distant background would go “soft” and be more complimentary (and less competititive for your attention) with the closer hay roll.

This is a lovely landscape, Frank. I am a fan of the prairies, and you did a great job of embracing the prairie scene here with the farm and field, and the gentle dusting of snow on the hay roll. Background mountains add a level of grandness. Light is sweepingly beautiful.
