I think the Canola fields are just about finished, and I'm so thankful that I got out two or three times to capture the vibrant beauty before the landscape returned to green. This was taken within city limits to the west of the city, along one of the gravel backroads, on 31 July 2013.

There are 15,000 Canola producers in Alberta. Canola is one of the healthiest vegetable oils, if not the healthiest.

"Canola refers to both an edible oil (also known as Canola oil) produced from the seed of any of several varieties of the rape plant, and to those plants, namely a cultivar of either rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) or field mustard (Brassica campestris L. or Brassica Rapa var.). The oil is suitable for consumption by humans and livestock, and for use as biodiesel." From Wikipedia.
