Rural landscapes: the shadowy winter world

PRAIRIE SCENERY
NEAR STAVELY, ALBERTA

I drove the ruralest of rural roads south of my Calgary home, enjoying the Canadian prairie world and looking for compelling scenes. This was one of them, the shadow anchoring a quietly attractive mix of field, fence, tree and road.
The only significant colour in this scene was the blue sky, so I opted to go monotone in order to increase the contrast and drama.
