The new "Famous Five" at Granary Road
Old, see-through barn
The beauty of erosion
Down on the farm
New "barn", Granary Road
A peaceful winter scene
Autumn in Alberta
Walking in a winter wonderland
Behind the tangled branches
A patch of blue
A white world
Modern barn
Part of an abandoned mining camp
Dazzling sunlight on distant peaks
The fun times are over
One of my favourite barns
Before the next snowfall
Looking across the prairie
When the land turns white
Fine old house
A sunrise sky that lasted till sunset
Under a Chinook arch
King of silos
Glorious scenery for a Christmas Bird Count!
Trudging through the snow
On a Christmas Bird Count, -23C
The Bow River at Carburn Park
Yesterday's walk in Fish Creek Park
Old and the new
Yesterday's local walk
Winter beauty
Yesterday's COLD walk
White-tailed Deer through the snow
Before winter arrived
Rainforest of the Arima Valley, Trinidad
The beauty of winter
Red barn in winter
Whites and blues of winter
Country scene in winter
A white world
Deer on the horizon
Old barns in the foothills
Winter's beauty
Plain, but welcome
A view from yesterday
Coyote crossing the frozen Elbow River
With more big storms to come
A beautiful day in Weaselhead
A scene in the Whaleback area
Rolling hills from the Whaleback
Caught in a mesocyclone
Prairie life in winter
Twice the beauty
Winter beauty
On the way to Canmore - seven Swans a-swimming :)
New birding blind in a local park
Donkey guardians of the old schoolhouse
When the world turns white
Ghost Reservoir
A memory of Waterton from before the fire
Evening mist in the rainforest
The challenges of being a birder
Standing up well
Alberta foothills in the fall
Start of the storm
Distant ice patterns on the reservoir
Morning sun over Pine Coulee Reservoir
Old house on the prairie
In winter time
The red barn
Old barns in late afternoon sun
Hello, winter
In fairly good condition
Fragile and leaning
Final resting place
Autumn Stripes
Early morning sunrise over the mountains
Storm arriving at Quarry Lake, near Canmore
Rural decay
A drive through Kananaskis
Beneath the cloud
Town of Canmore, Alberta
When the storm moved in
A view from Quarry Lake, Canmore
A new-to-me old barn
Fish Creek Park on a low-light day
A mountain meadow, Kananaskis, Alberta
Fall colours in Fish Creek Park
Cattle drive in the mountains of Kananaskis, Alber…
Heading for the mountains on a hazy morning
The charred remains of McDougall Memorial United C…
Lenticular (?) clouds over the mountains
Kananaskis before the snowstorm
Before the snow arrived
Part of an old miners' camp
Things are not always what they seem
Ah, those glorious Larches in their fall colours
The colours of fall
Pine Coulee Reservoir, Alberta
Pine Coulee Reservoir, Alberta
Waterton Lake from the townsite - before the fire
In the middle of nowhere - spot the truck
Road through Kananaskis
Our precious Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta…
Walker House, Inglewood Bird Sanctuary
Farm in the foothills
Sheep on a smoky day
Scenery along Highway 40, Kananaskis
Old country schoolhouse
A favourite road
Wide angle on the Bighorn Sheep ridge
The beauty of our mountains
Clouds over the mountains
A road less travelled
Little country school with company
Vanishing landscape
Love those hills
Bison with smoke haze
Out in the middle of nowhere
Yesterday's barn
Treasures in the yellow strip
No longer a home
Splash of colour
Cameron Falls, Waterton Lakes National Park
Alberta foothills in smoke haze

Granary Road
Again, all three photos posted today were taken two days ago, on 19 November 2017, when I spent a few very enjoyable hours out with my daughter. This is the time of year, of course, when Christmas Markets and Fairs spring up everywhere, within the city and in various hamlets outside the city. There were two that we ended up going to - Granary Road and Bragg Creek. This was the very first Christmas for the newly opened Granary Road. Bragg Creek market has been held for many years, but we had never been out there to one before. Both felt calm and were far less densely packed (at least when we were there) than some of the bigger markets in various towns.
I had been hoping to get over to Granary Road all summer and fall, but it just didn't happen. This is a brand new market garden, SW of the city, with an active learning park, too. Before this, the area was simply a huge, empty field, except for the row of bright red sheds. I was very disappointed months ago, when I first saw what was being planned for that particular area. Most of all, I and many other photographers, were horrified when we discovered that the row of five old, red granaries/sheds had been removed from the landscape. Some of you may remember my photos of these granaries, which I called "The Famous Five". They have been replaced by five new, red sheds which, I have to say, looked better yesterday than I had previously thought.
Link for my album, "The Famous Five" - 25 images of the original, old row of five, red granaries.

The huge main building, seen in this photo, is full of various permanent, carefully chosen vendors, and a restaurant. Very nicely designed, I thought. Three huge greenhouses stand next to the main building - fresh produce is sold from them and from local farmers. A small petting Zoo was being held in one of the greenhouses - Alpacas, goats and bunnies, all very cute.

The huge, outdoor educational area looks like a lot of fun, and I want to go back next summer to wander round it, when this part reopens for the season.

Thank you, Rachel, for an enjoyable few hours spent with you! Always the best kind of day. See you in December.
