We have been blessed this year with a long, beautiful fall. The colors lasted a very long time and, though busy, we've still managed a couple of outings to record the beauty
Beauty of ... Pollution?
It was brutally cold last Sunday when we ventured, before dawn, outside the city hoping for a nice sunrise. The temperatures were steadily dropping while we were driving away from Edmonton and by the time we reached our destination it was -30 degree Celsius. It was a blessing that there was barely any wind because it felt very cold and we were very happy to be able to take a break in a warm vehicle every 5 minutes or so.. But it was well worth it! We were rewarded with a beautiful sunrise, full of colors and great clouds - a rarity this winter. What I found fascinating, though while staring at the sky, was the the industrial installations that were surrounding us looked quite amazing against such sky and the light of raising sun was making them even more interesting and, dare I say, beautiful. All that smoke highlighted by the low sun just added to already interesting and dramatic sky. It is rather strange to use term "beauty" in the same sentence as industry, smoke and pollution, but judge for yourself. I guess, in a certain light, almost everything is beautiful ;D.. Hope you are going to enjoy this set of pictures from our frozen, beautiful prairies during winter sunrise. Have a wonderful weekend, everybody!! Kasia
Fall - Industrial Sunrise..
We have missed our alarm clocks this morning and woke up too late to go out into the country to shoot a sunrise... Being faced with not enough time to go too far we have decided to visit one of the nearby parks that gives us close enough access to some industrial installations that look quite interesting when the sun hits them with it's first rays. It turned up to be a wonderful short trip! We didn't even have to bundle up, since the weather decided to grace us with much warmer temperatures than what we've been experiencing for the last week or so! And, thankfully, the snow and below zero temperatures (we're talking Celsius) did not take away all the colours from trees just yet!!! Here is some images from this outing. I hope you enjoy!! :D Kasia
Industrial Dawn - Part 2
Photographers often go out of the city in search of a perfect sunrise, just like we did some time ago when we have found an abandoned farm. Sometimes however, one cannot leave for one reason or another. But even in the industrial part of the city we can find something interesting. The morning light highlights the details and allows us to see that industrial dawn can be as interesting as the rural one. I hope you agree! Kasia

Steel Forest
This was taken at a local park, close to where I live. I found the juxtaposition of the industrial buildings jutting out of the trees, interesting. Thoughts?
