Snowy Field

Posted by Kenton (Calgary, Canada) on 22 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

My daughter had a hockey tournament in Olds, Alberta this past weekend and I was able to grab a few shots on the way home. It was very sunny and very white. I need to do a little more work on some of these, but this is definitely what it looked like.

I always appreciate feedback and constructive criticism. Thanks for stopping by.

You can visit me on Flickr as ks_focalpoint or on Fotopedia. I'm also working on a website of my own, stay tuned...

Bright white and blue sky. Nice image Kenton, how did the hockey go?

@Maxine: Thanks Maxine, they came in 3rd out of 6. A pretty good showing overall.

wow an incredible landscape! my state has been battling heat, bushfires, dust storms, drenching rain and thunderstorms all in the one day today - the complete opposite of this!

@Kathryn: Wow, it doesn't sound like fun where you are. Dust storms and drenching rain all in one day, that has to be messy. I'll stick with the snow, wind and -17 that we have now.

Wonderful snow against the bright blue sky :)
This has been such a dry winter here for us. It had never been like this before. God knows what will happen to us during summer time!

@Shirin Moosavi: Thank-you. I think our farmers are very thankful for all of the snow we have had. Although we had no snow until the beginning of December, so it was very dry for us to start.

I really like this and like it that this is exactly how you saw it. Thanks for sharing a bit of the world you see, it is beautiful!

Wonderful winter landscape. What hockey team do you route for? I'm living in NYC right now and even though it's difficult to get tickets to see the Rangers play, I have a hard time finding a hockey fan to heckle!

@Yonatan: Thanks. There must be at least one or two hockey fans in NYC. I'm a hometown guy so I root for the Flames. My son however is a bit of a contrarian and cheers for the Oilers... We don't see a lot of the eastern teams out here so I don't even know how they're doing right now.
