Fancy silo with stairs
Hard to believe that this is WINTER! Some fields outside the city are completely bare of snow; others still look pretty white.
I first saw this huge silo on 15th February 2016 when I was exploring some new backroads SE of Calgary. This photo was taken four days later, on 19 February, when I made a quick drive along the same road. I was quite impressed by the size of this grain storage, including the fact that it has a stairway, too. I happened to be there just when the sky had filled with some impressive clouds.
The reason I wanted to make this drive on 19 February was that friend Phil S. had posted a few photos of a beautiful little white country church; one that I hadn’t seen before. He told me where to find it and this was enough motivation for me to drive some roads that were new to me. Thanks so much, Phil! The church is the Davisburg Community Church, SE of Calgary. I have done a search on Google for some information on it, but so far have come up with nothing. However, I left a couple of messages on Facebook last night and received an immediate response. Hopefully, I'll be able to phone the lady early next week and will add any information I'm given, here. Also, Phil sent me the link to a wedding that was held at this church, showing the inside and outside.

The church and small cemetery are fenced off, though I did notice one small section of fence along the road had been destroyed – hopefully not by photographers wanting to get a different angle! There is also a No Trespassing sign there. I was able to get two or three angles from the ditch along the road.
From this location, I drove SE towards the Blackie area and covered some of the same roads and backroads that I drove on 15 February. It turned out to be more of a barn day than a birding trip, as all I saw were several Pigeons and a number of Magpies. I really wasn’t looking for birds, though, as my attention was on the road and which direction I was going, trying not to get lost.
The sun was shining early on, but more and more clouds gradually moved in, making quite a beautiful sight over the distant mountains. Couldn’t resist taking a few photos.
After a while, I realized that I could perhaps just make it as far as the Saskatoon Farm in time to order a home-made pizza to take home with me. However, when I got there, I was told that they had stopped making these several months ago. Instead, I decided to stay and have a meal there - quiche and sweet potato fries. Made a very pleasant ending to an enjoyable afternoon.
