A view from The Saskatoon Farm

Three days ago, on 13 October 2014, I had spent a few hours east of the city, driving the backroads, looking for barns or anything else to photograph. Heading back to Calgary, I took a wrong turn just outside the city and ended up on Deerfoot Trail heading south. All I could do was keep driving on this major highway until I came to somewhere familiiar where I could turn around. This happened to be The Saskatoon Farm. I was just in time to have a meal in their restaurant before heading home.

This interesting place is maybe a 20-minute drive SE from the southern edge of Calgary. You can collect your own Saskatoon berries in season, look around their outside green houses, and their inside gift shop full of unusual things, and buy special baking, jams, teas and so on. They also have a restaurant that offers great food. There is quite a beautiful view over the river, too, especially in the fall, as seen in this photo.
