Calendar Worthy

I recently submitted some photos to a hiking forum that I frequent where the various submissions were voted on for the annual calendar. I was pleased that one of my Michele Lakes shots was chosen for November 2009.

My user name on that site is 'Sodbuster' and its a great site for hiking info & inspiration plus some of the other members are great photographers who don't mind sharing some tips now and then.

Highwood Pass - Larch

Highwood Pass ramblings… Sunday Oct 5, 2008. +-10 km, +-750m elevation.
My annual trip to the mountains when the Larch are in fall color mode. A touch late this year but still worth the trip even with the snow showers and low ceiling.





A shot back from just west of Longview. Love that view, the yellow this time courtesy the Aspens.

Flatlands

Sept 24-30, 2008 I took a road trip thru part of southern Alberta and into Saskatchewan visiting Cypress Hills, Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan Landing, the longest pedestrian bridge in Canada (it’s in Outlook SK), Regina to visit Glen and Tim, Unity to visit Hank and family (and do an overnighter canoe trip on the North Saskatchewan), the dunes of the Great Sand Hills, and the Badlands of Dinosaur PP in AB. 3061 km of mostly back roads… some say I’m crazy but it was a great break and I saw many cool things. I’ll get some more pictures up in a while, right now its round two of my CLD (Certified Landscape Designer) portfolio and the ‘fall push’.

I took this shot on my way home at Hwy 23 & 24 east of High River. I missed seeing the mountains on the western skyline.
