Rural landscapes: the road through subtle beauty

HIGHWAY 23 NEAR NOBLEFORD, ALBERTA

I was photographing random hay rolls along the side of this western Canadian road when I looked south and saw almost nothing but flat prairies, wheat fields and the yellow road markings. To my eyes, it made for a compelling, almost minimalist image of subtle beauty. I removed one tiny building along the horizon to ensure nothing distracted your eyes from the photo’s “vanishing point” design. Check out the colour version here: https://bit.ly/AlbertaPrairieRoad.
