Manitoba landscapes...

[Catmendo]

Although the skies were severely overcast yesterday, I grabbed my photography gear and headed out the door. At first I decided to focus on black & white imagery. As you can see I was travelling through rural farm country just to the east of the Red River.

There's something about old grain elevators and railway tracks that keep me wanting to photograph them.

As always, old wagon wheels seem to make interesting subjects. Farming has changed just a tad since these old wheels were in service.

I decided to finish up the afternoon (evening) with a session at one of my many favortie locations. This majestic little place is the rapids located at the mouth of the Whitemouth River as it spills into the mighty Winnipeg River. I thought that I would continue shooting in Black & white as long as it remained cloudy.

Incidently, these rapids do not have an official name, so I decided to (unofficially)take matters into my own hands. I named them Red Rock Rapids, who could blame me!

As fate or luck would have it, the clouds gave way to a brillantly lit red hozon off in the west.

That's all folks, until next time!
