Rural landscapes: me, bringing a touch of red
PRAIRIE CANOLA FIELD
NEAR AIRDRIE, ALBERTA
The last two weeks of July are canola season in the western Canadian province of Alberta. That’s when I love driving along nameless country roads looking for gobsmacking fields of glowing yellow.
This field qualified but, as is usually the case, the best canola pictures are “canola +” photos. In other words, canola alone isn’t enough to make for a memorable picture. That was the case here, so I inserted myself into the composition.
Notice the canola growing in the bottom middle? I saw it and made sure it was placed in the exact best spot for the picture.

The Canadian canola fields are something I would love to see in person, but until then I have this wonderful photo to give me a great idea of how they look. Excellent photo, Frank.
