A peaceful spot along Swift Current Creek, with Autumn light filtering through the tree canopy.

Autumnal light on Swift Current Creek and the trees and other vegetation around it as it meanders through Pine Cree Regional Park.
ripples of light and dark

Light coming through the tree canopy plays on the surface of Swift Current Creek, where a few leaves have already fallen.

For the nimble and the bold, another place to traverse Swift Current Creek in Pine Cree Regional Park.

This image is from September 2024, taken during a visit to Pine Cree Regional Park in Southwest Saskatchewan. The headwaters of Swift Current Creek are close by, and the creek runs through the park, which is located in a deep coulee. The creek is a bit too wide to leap across, so someone offered an assist.

An image rendered using a preset that emulates TMAX 100 film. However, a moved the slider adjustment to about 80 per cent, to bring out a bit of colour in the dead underbrush and the fed daubs of paint on a part of the door frame.

shed and tree-Ardill
|
|
A remarkable tree and a shed on a property in the near-ghost town of Ardill, Saskatchewan. The property was likely one of the better ones along the main street, as it has brick pillars on either side of the gated entrance. It's all ramshackle now.

What was the garage in Ardill, Saskatchewan, rendered in monochrome with a specific preset in ON1 called brilliant.
Ardill main street B&W
|
|
Some of the photos I took while at Ardill seemed to offer possibilities to be converted to monochrome. I used presets on ON1 to create different looks.
Ardill main street 2

|

Ardill is a favourite near-ghost town, with a few abandoned buildings along the main street, and a few inhabited buildings up the hill. It is located on the south side of a pretty valley in southern Saskatchewan. The building in the foreground was the garage, with the hotel and bar further down the road.

An opportunity to capture the rising sun coming through a tree before it leafs out, with the ice on Wascana Lake reflecting some of the early light.
orange over blue

Another sunrise at Wascana Lake. I was struck by the contrast between the orange in the sky and the blue on the ice of the lake.
against the current
|
|
|
I tracked this pair of ducks on Wascana Creek for a considerable time. At this time they were paddling against the current, since the Creek is running high with the Spring melt, such as it is.
wooden sea monster in the Creek

On a ramble along Wascana Creek during the evening golden hour I spotted this tree, usually on dry land, looking like a sea months as it was surrounded by spring runoff. At least, that is what my imagination saw.
a high water mark

I took this image of a twisted tree along Wascana Creek after city workers opened the water control structure holding back water from the Lake of the same name. A little more than a week earlier the tree had still been encased in ice.
