During the past month, we have taken a few different driving trips revisiting places around Southern Alberta as well as discovering new ones. On one of our trips, we went to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Writing-on-Stone / Áísínai’pi provincial park. Visiting here has been on our list for decades. This park was created to protect the over 50 different petroglyph sites in this area. We took two tours into the restricted area and did a morning hike in a non restricted area to view a sampling of the petroglyphs.

The landscape of this area is unique in that it has quite a few sandstone outcrops called Hoodoos. It is beautiful to see how they have eroded since the ice age. HoodoosHoodoos

And the biggest surprise of all - I didn't take one abstract image while we were there!

On two separate occasions we drove through the town of Nanton where I stopped to photograph the Grain elevators. I have quite a large series of images that are in this gallery, from my Canon camera, but this time I had my Fuji. These first two images were taken with the multiple exposure technique and are straight out of the camera. The other three have my creative input applied. I'm really enjoying the colour pallet that the Fuji uses. Grain elevatorsGrain elevators

If you are interested in what other abstract photographers are creating, I wanted to let you know that two of my images have been selected to be included in a new abstract magazine that is being published by Hintology. This edition has over 150 images from 50 artists in 17 different countries. This is where to find the ordering information.

Let me know what you think of these new images from the grain elevators, also known as Prairie Sentinels.
