Rural landscapes: in the grip of harvest season

HAY ROLLS AND DISTANT MOUNTAINS, WEST OF CALGARY, ALBERTA

I saw these hay rolls while driving to the Canadian Rockies and decided they would make a good composition. I made some without the fence, but I like how the fence adds to the overall rural feel – while subtly echoing the line of mountains along the horizon. There was an electrical box along the fence that disrupted the feel of the scene, so I removed it using Photoshop Elements.
