Manitoba Scenes

// December 10th, 2011 // No Comments » // Scenic

Today a few scenes from various locales in Southern Manitoba.   We are fortunate to have such a variety of landscape that ranges from wilderness to farmlands.  It is always interesting taking a drive in any direction from Winnipeg as there will always be something of interest that one happens upon.

Sunsets & Star trails

// November 8th, 2011 // No Comments » // Nopiming Provincial Park, Scenic

Sunsets are always beautiful to see and depending on the time, sky conditions and cloud cover sunset colours can vary like our weather. Today some of my favourite sunset photos and night skies.

Below: Star trails on a clear summer night in Nopiming. If you have a camera with a bulb setting, a sturdy tripod and can get away from city lights you can try star trail photos on clear nights when the moon is in new stages.

Below:  There was lots of smoke from forest fires in the sky this day and I think this is why the skies were pinker than usual.

** New Photos Gallery has been updated **

Got a little delayed in updating postings here as a new grandson arrived a few weeks back so you can imagine that I have been a little busy lately.  Anyway, I have so many new photos to share from this past summer and will be posting as usual every four days.  Today I thought some late summer & fall photos of rural Manitoba would be timely.  With the winds we experienced last week most leaves have blown off the trees now but fall is still a most beautiful season and happens to be a favourite season of mine and many people that I know.
