This month's calendar features an image from the prairies east of Calgary with the last light of the sun reflecting off the train tracks. I used to see sights like this on an almost daily basis in the winter while driving to or from work. How many times have you seen something like this and just kept going because you were too busy to stop? Sometimes you just need to slow down, take it all in, and enjoy the ride...
This month's calendar features a landscape image from the foothills to the west of Calgary at sunrise. These old barns, grain bins, and other random farm equipment are widely spread throughout the prairies and I love to photograph them whenever I can! This is the best time of year to see the amazing sunrises and sunsets near Calgary since so many people are out and about at those times of the days in winter. Everyone should take the opportunity to go for a drive out on the prairies before or after work to see for themselves how beautiful this time of year is!
This month's calendar image comes from a recent family vacation to Australia. We spent several days visiting my Aunt in Hervey Bay, which (about 300 km North of Brisbane). We first saw the Urangan Pier on the first day of the trip and I knew that I would need to photograph it at sunrise before leaving the area. Because sunrise is so early in that part of the country I delayed and delayed until the final morning of our visit. Fortunately the sunrise was amazing and it was well worth the effort to get up so early!!
This month's calendar image is an landscape photo taken just after sunrise on a frosty fall morning. The grasses in the field were all touched by frost and coated in ice crystals. The grasses were bathed in a beautiful soft warm light that only lasted for a few minutes.
This month's calendar image features a beautiful sunrise as seen from Steptoe Butte State Park in the Palouse region of Eastern Washington State in the Northern United States. The Palouse is a rural farming area that is famous (at least among photographers) for its beautiful rolling hills and scenic crop fields that are often planted in interesting patterns.
