Weather has not been cooperating lately. This is the last sunset that I managed to shoot and it has a little story. The second image is of a valley near to where I work. I did not realize that it existed. I thought all around was this flat farm land, but as you can see I was very wrong. I discovered it by accident. I was driving to find a good spot for the sunset, which wasn't very spectacular, as there were no clouds in the sky, and I turned into a dead end road. At the end I noticed something different about the scenery, then the regular farmlands, so I went to investigate. Crossed over the snow drift, and after two or three steps, I was at the edge of the ravine. There were no posts, gates, fences, anything to indicate I was on private property. Suddenly, while I was admiring the scenery, I heard something approaching. I looked and there was this big black, what looked like a German Sheppard mix running towards me. The only way for me to go was down this very steep hill, so I stood my ground with my heart in my throat, thinking that no one will find me, once this dog gets me. That's it... game over... I'm done. So I took a couple more photos, and.... and.... nothing happened. I looked over once more, and this huge beast was standing there with a stick in his mouth and tail wagging like crazy. So.... we played fetch. I guess I should have taken some shots of the dog, but I was so relieved that I was not going to be eaten, that I wasn't thinking straight. Here is what I got that day. Enjoy!

Another winter sunset. Yes, yes, but I have to admit that I missed these. The days are getting longer, means that spring is approaching. I mean it's almost march. I can go out after work, and be able to catch some absolutely lovely sunsets. Most of the time lately they haven't been very interesting, as in either completely overcast or completely cloudless. I managed to catch a few that were interesting, and here is another one. This is one big bonus living in Alberta. Huge skies, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Enjoy! Mac

Finally the days are a little longer, and when going home after work, I can marvel at some of the most spectacular sunsets of this year :) Sometimes I will take my little Fuji and drive a little, off the beaten path just to catch them in camera. Enjoy! Mac
