Sunrise along the Cowboy Trail
(please click on an image to link to a higher resolution version)
The Cowboy Trail runs through Bragg Creek and is lined with evergreen forest on either side of the town. On the weekend I was heading out to Wild Rose to see about some of the birds there. I left home as the morning colour was coming into the sky. I was not planning to shoot the sunrise but within a few minutes of driving down Highway 22X, the road’s less evocative other name, I pulled over and spent a few minutes watching the clouds soak in the warm light. It was an easy diversion and a great start to the day.



Oh wow, you’ve excelled yourself on these photos, Chris! And I adore the colours. 🙂

Beautiful way to capture a sunrise. The blend of rosed and oranged colors is just fantastic.

Thank you Javier. As autumn builds around here the sunrises get better and better.

When I saw the photos I had a sense it was an Alberta sky. I miss those skies even after 29 years away. Absolutely stunning.

Thank you Paula. I hope you get a chance to make it back now and then?
