I'm not a fan of electricity wires and towers in my photos, but it can be hard to avoid them when you are down in the Frank Lake area. However, I just loved the pinkness of the sunrise over the snow-covered peaks and the colour of the stubble in the fields. A zoomed in photo, so the mountains look closer than they actually were. This was taken on 24 December 2013, when I went with friends, Cathy and Terry, to explore the backroads around Frank Lake. Our sightings for that day included 1 very distant Snowy Owl, 4 Great Horned Owls, 2 Bald Eagles and, after quite a long drive to another place, a very, very distant Northern Hawk Owl. No good for photos, but at least we found it : )

LeapFrog has particularly liked this photo

Gorgeous colours, tones and hues ... great timing to get this shot ... the wires can only add to how we have encroached on the open spaces of our land (the wires could have been buried) ... I use to drive 3-4 hours along the Autoroute north of Montreal. Outside the small towns, the area was picturesque ... one time, I saw this huge eyesore of a Water Slide Park along the mountain side ... it spoiled the view altogether ... since then, many more of human encroachment can be seen along this route ... progress?? I do not think so!!

PS: This is how I feel about Canmore too ... LOL
