The skies over, and west of town yesterday. No good reason — just thought I’d share.

My husband is from Sask. I am from the east. When I first visited Sask I was expecting that the scenery would be boring. Not so — you are always watching the sky, and the sky is always changing. Nice pic.
Nice
20 miles out and I can still see that dog running:-)))
God’s Country! Nice Pic
Beautiful. One day I’m going to ask Kate to post pix of my front yard. Right now the Summersweet Clethra is in full bloom, swarming with bees. The Crepe Myrtle is blooming too, with the branches arcing just perfectly over my driveway. An oasis of garden perfection in the hellscape that is New Jersey.
Why I became a single traveller:
My hubby and I left Wpg on a 7 day tour early one beautiful sunny morning and as we’re a few hours into the trip, now driving in Saskatchewan, he looked out the window and quietly said: I never want to go more than 50 miles away from home the rest of my life.
I should have said, our home was in Eastern Ontario. He wasn’t spending the rest of his life in Manitoba either.
God’s country indeed.
Seeing this pic, I am instantly transported right there, looking across that field..I can feel the movement of the air, and soak up the smell of the land and coming rain.
That’s simply a spectacular shot–thanks for posting!
I wish you wouldn’t show views like that. There are far too many people here already.
I was stationed at Minot AFB, N.D.
I remember how breathtaking the prairie was. We’d climb up to the barrack’s roof at night when we got off shift in the summer time, and you could watch a half dozen lightning storms, just by turning 360…
Truly, truly God’s Country.
I live in Southwest Regina. On a clear day I can see the Calgary Tower.
Lovely… But.. I live in Maple Ridge B.C.. I drive for a living. I am 69.. I was in an area today I had never seen..East of Langley .. Between the Fraser and the freeway.. 30 degrees..Heavily treed, ridges and flat farmland.. Views of house ridge lines peaking out from the large trees.. Drop dead gorgeous that laconic view. Probably not familiar to 99 percent of the people who live in the lower mainland. I envy those families, and i live in an are that resembles a park.
Love those low LOW horizons Kate.
Many motorcyclists cannot abide the prairies.
Another of my many eccentricities: I LOVE riding the prairies.
I’ve ridden across Canada and back 5-6 times since 1999.
The chief attraction of riding for me is the SOLITUDE and the prairies provide plenty of that increasingly rare treasure.
My fave composition is the second pic with that curving gravel road left to right and the low horizon.
Lol! Thanks for that.
Is that a crop circle in the first picture??? Left side of the field. It also shows up in the center of the last picture.
I want to believe!
Landscape like that is terrific for working amateur radio satellites. Few obstructions!
Wow is that what the sky looks like with no smoke.It will change this weekend in the lower mainland thank god.
“Who has seen the wind”
Thanks for the stirring images.
I’m right now skirting the Great Plains along Iowa’s loess hills on I29 returning home from the Sturgis Ralley. There’s something very profound about the vast horizon and skies of the plains.
