A few splashes of autumn color, pt. I & II

#📸 #photography #alberta #skyscape #sunset #clouds 2017
Fiery clouds fill the sky above a silhouette of darkened trees and rooftops, almost appearing like an inverted expanse of sand dunes suspended in a sliver of blue. Deep blues, purples, oranges, and reds intermix in wispy and rolling clouds as the sun sets. A weeping willow stretches upward, it's silhouetted branches obscuring the prismatic heavens.

A summer memory &
A few wet rocks &
A blazing sun

#📸 #🌼 #photography #alberta #landscape #river #flower #dog #wildfire 2017
An elderly shih tzu dog stands by a homily-decorated fence, staring toward you. High above him, sunflower stretch to the heavens, towering above the dog like a forest of trees, their heavy heads stooping as if gazing downward. From a high vantage point the sinuous shoreline of a swiftly-moving river laps at a rocky shoreline. A cache of fallen trees and branches are heaped further downstream. The sun sets in a sky alight with rosy smoke from a far-off wildfire. Below, rows of near-identical trucks sit patiently on a car lot, waiting to be purchased.

A bench with a view &
A series of small explosions &
A busy bee

#📸 #🌼 #🐞 #photography #macrophotography #alberta #landscape #lake #flower #invertebrate 2017
Under the deep expanse of a lightly clouded sky, a small, metal bench serenely observes the choppy water of a shallow lake. Small puffballs bloom in clustered explosions of flowers amidst dark leaves. Enveloped deep within the large red petals of a poppy flower, a honey bee busily collects nectar and pollen.

Encroaching vegetation &
A new roadside friend &
A questionable crossing &
An adorable instance of inner-city wildlife

#📸 #photography #alberta #explore #landscape #wildlife
Tall grasses glow with warm sunlight as they stretch across a narrow dirt path, casting dappled shadows across the earth. Under a cloud-mottled blue sky, a horse trots amicably alongside a fence as it follows the winding curve of a road disappearing out of frame. A small stream cuts across a rough, dirty path, large clumps of vegetation springing from the marshy soil. Thankfully, an earthy bridge of faceted rocks and fallen logs reconnect the obstructed path. A young deer ambles through tall grass and taller trees, taking no mind to the photographer as they snap this photo a few metres away.

A collection of tree ghosts &
A suspiciously serpentine departure &
A sunny day in a quiet wood &
Abandoned suburbs create silent cities

#📸 #photography #alberta #landscape #abandoned #urbandecay #explore
An abandoned corral sits empty in a field of tall, dead grass, its fence posts rotting. All around the enclosure stand tall, leafless trees, branches reaching into bright clouds. A wide, dirt pathway winds back and forth among empty trees and empty bushes. Leaves and other detritus litter the trail. Gnarled and barren trees stretch up high into the sky; the sparse forest's twisted branches contrast with the large, puffy clouds overhead. Suburban houses line an empty road, with no signs of life to be seen. Dirt and gravel spill out onto the road, blurring the previously-imposed boundary between civilisation and nature. Soft clouds float by, reflecting the quietness below.

A fence with a view &
A wild obstacle approaches &
The best trails aren't trails &
An organic aesthetic

#📸 #photography #🌼 #macrophotography #alberta #landscape #biking
A lichen-encrusted fence board extends into a landscape of tall grasses on the shores of a wide river. Puffy summer clouds float above a dense forest on the far shore. A large log lays languidly across a dirt path, a bike tire edging into frame. Among the tall grasses, another collection of logs sprawl across the path in the distance. A bike stands in a large grassy depression, no trail clearly visible among the sparse trees. Small blossoms on a thin branch stretch into frame. In the background, multitudes of gentle blooms flow in all directions, softly out of focus.

A turbulent crossing &
A tiny outcropping &
Some hurrying liquids &
A tiny monster encased in organic matter

#📸 #🌼 #🐞 #photography #macrophotography #crowsnest #alberta #waterfall #landscape 2017
Near the mountains, a large river roars beneath the rusted trusses of an old railway bridge. The water splits around a bush-covered rock before thundering dozens of feet down the cliffs as a series of foamy waterfalls. Miniscule flowers and vibrant patches of lichen emerge from the flat, layered surface of a rock. The sparking ripples of a steam flowing over layered rocks fills the image with delicate texture. Small flecks of water dance through the air. Cocooned safely in the cupped petals of a prairie crocus, a ladybug nestles up against the vibrant flower. Another crocus blooms behind the first.

A far away rock &
A few tall rocks &
Humid forms

#📸 #photography #banff #alberta #mountains #landscape #skyscape 2016
Backlit by large, puffy clouds, a single mountain stands resolutely in the distance. The late evening sun reflects in the swiftly-flowing stream that cuts across the image, while a rocky shore and endless, bushy meadows separate the river from the prominent peak. Countless trees dot further and further up the steep slope of a jagged mountain range. A low blanket of clouds descends from the overcast sky, dulling the sharp peaks with a blanket of fog. High above the slope of a roof, gentle puffs of cloud float in a summer sky. Higher still lay the wispy fragments of wind-strewn clouds rendered into soft smudges.

An overly-large slab of minerals &
A double bridge all the way across the river &
A collection of moisture

A vertical slab of deeply textured rock fills nearly the entire image, looming over a thin slice of tranquil water. A small cave joins the two contrasting surfaces. Two bridges stretch in parallel towards the center of the image, reaching across turbid waters. A rocky mountain stands resolutely in the distance, stretching into cloudy skies. Massive swabs of cottony clouds fill a crisp, spring sky, layered softly over the mountain peaks barely coming into frame.

Old photos from my archive
A photo of a wide, paved path stretching far into the distance. The weather is crisp and the sun casts long shadows on newly-fallen leaves. A sinuous, gravel pathway runs along the top of a berm. A light dusting of snow covers grass, trees, and rocks under hazy clouds.
