The snow is mostly gone, here on the prairies, but it will be some weeks before we see greenery and flowers blooming. I can’t wait! It has been a long winter and I sure could use a bit of color. Late spring or early summer images are great for it because all is fresh and green is bright and not dimmed by dust of late summer days.
We are lucky here in Alberta, because some nights are full of light show. We had a couple of gorgeous Aurora showing last fall and I have managed to capture some shots without leaving the city.
I know, I know it is winter and everybody posts winter photography, but I am not ready for it yet. I see it outside my window every day, so I want to see something warm, colorful and pretty. Hope you are in need of this as well.
It has been a while since I’ve posted anything about Elk Island National Park. So, I think, it is time for some lovely sunset from the beginning of summer, when all was green, flowers were blooming and days were warm and long.
Continuing from the previous post, the above photo shows the amount of people that were at the Ukrainian Village that day. Usually it would be just a picture of a sign..... and no one else. The following series of pictures were taken at the Ukrainian Village, but this time I decided to leave the colour in. Enjoy!
It was a lovely sunny, albeit cool and windy day. Few months ago, my good friend Art and me decided to visit a place where time stands still. It is a place of memories. Memories of how people lived and worked and loved this land. Then you realize that, this was only about 100 years ago. Not that long ago in the grand scheme of things. The place I'm taking about is the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. It was the last day the Village is open during the year, and it was free admission, so I bet half of population of Canada was there. This of course proved to be a challenge when trying to take pictures. Bloody tourists everywhere. Blind as well. They would just walk and stand right in front of the camera, completely oblivious of the whole world around them. Chose the wrong day to visit. My fault. Still people or no people it an amazing place to visit, and if you're ever around these parts I urge you to go back in time.
