Weyburn Museum

In Weyburn, Sask. The Old Power House is now a Museum.

 

 

Saskatchewan's Provincial flower has been created as an adornment to the structure and lies near the base of the smoke stack.

Flights and sights

I am fortunate to live in a flight line and cannot resist photos of planes. This is my first attempt of night photography of them.

 

This may look a little weird, but it is the effect I was trying to get. Now need to work on the clarity. Love how the plane is invisible.

Waterfowl @ Fred John's Park

Another amazing night of a full moon.

 

 

                                                Is that you Mother Goose?

 

This Mommy caught me by surprise. She sure had her little ones reigned in.

Later I went to my favorite airplane landing spot. Here you can take really close pictures of the plane landing as it is in direct line with the runway. Used a slow shutter speed and timer to get this plane - where only the lights are visible. The streaks running across the bottom of the photo are actually the cars travelling by on the highway.

Full Moon Landscapes - Fred John Park - Leduc

I'm already looking forward to taking more full moon pictures next month.

 

 

Magical Moon

May Photowalk - Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park - St Albert Alberta

 Kayakers enjoying a beautiful day 

 

Masses of cat tails surrounded the wetlands boardwalk. Great place for taking pictures of birds, however I missed that opportunity. It is now on my list for a return field trip.

 

One of the many great wildlife lookouts.

Pillars of a bridge that was once. What I did learn with this picture was how to remove light standards that took away from the view. New techy stuff for me.

                                         Who can resist Dandelions?

Its all about Light!

Evening walk created this interesting picture of a street light. I love how the light etched itself across the photo.

 

Evening stroll around Fred Johns Park

While strolling around Fred Johns Park, in Leduc Alberta, I couldn't resist yet another couple of sunset photos. Such a dramatic difference between the two. Amazing what a couple of settings changes can do.

This picture is so much softer and paint like. Same location. You will notice the trees at the right of the picture are the same ones as in the top picture.
