Another electrical light show

Lightning strikes the ridge above Bragg Creek in Alberta, Canada.

Driving home last night, another storm thundered over the foothills and the prairie around Bragg Creek.  Lightning was flashing regularly so I set up and shot a few frames before the rain hit.  A herd of cows must have thought I was the delivery guy as they all wandered over.

Bovine Portraits

The drive between Bragg Creek and Calgary along Highway 8 is Alberta Prairie most of the way.   Crop fields and cow pastures divide up the land on either side of the road.  At the far end of Springbank near the Highway 22X (The Cowboy Trail) intersection is a herd of cows with a pretty steady uniform of black.  There are a couple of exceptions to the solid black coats and I stopped the other day to take a few portraits of these trend dodgers.

A last one…
