Four days ago, on 30 March 2015, I went SE of Calgary, driving the backroads through the farmlands. I had been meaning to drive further than I'd driven in that area, and this day I went as far as Vulcan. Just like I have done a few times before, I went on Google and Google Earth beforehand, searching for any barns that were in the new part of my drive. Nothing truly spectacular, but I did manage to find a few that made the drive worthwhile. 234 km total, 5 1/4 hour trip. The weather was beautiful, with a sky full of clouds for at least the first part of my drive. What you can't see is that it was extremely windy, as it so often is in this whole area. You also can't see all the bees that were buzzing round my car a couple of times when I got out to take a few photos. "Brant is located 18 km west and 12 kilometres north of Vulcan. It is located on the CP main line which runs from Aldersyde to Kipp. This elevator was originally a Home Grain elevator, but changed owners to Searle, Federal and finally Alberta Wheat Pool, before being sold to B & J Farms." From vanishingsentinels.blogspot.ca/2006/02/alberta-wheat-pool... "There were 1,651 elevators in Alberta in 1951, but by 1982 a total of 979 elevators remained. The 1990s spelled the death of the wooden “country” or “primary” elevator. At the end of the 1990s, as the full impact of both of the ending of the Crow Rate in 1995 and further impending rail abandonment was felt, the pace of demolition accelerated at an unprecedented rate. At the end of the 1996-1997 crop year, there were only 327 elevators left. Alberta’s largest cooperative grain companies, the Alberta Wheat Pool (which amalgamated with Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1998 as Agricore) and United Grain Growers, ultimately formed a new corporate entity known as Agricore United in 2001, issuing issued public shares. Demolition of country elevators has continued, and in 2005 there were only 156 wooden elevators of any kind still standing, only a handful of which are used by the grain trade. The Government of Alberta has recognised the significance of the traditional wood grain elevators, and has designated 12 as Provincial Historic Resources. They are located in the following communities: Andrew, Castor, Leduc, Meeting Creek, Paradise Valley, Radway, Rowley (3 elevators), Scandia and St. Albert (2 elevators)." www.grainelevatorsalberta.ca/articles/HRM-history.pdf

Federal Grain Limited: once the largest grain company in SK
Our sixth stop was Strome Alberta. This great big giant specimen of a Pioneer grain elevator could be seen from the South for many kilometers. The paint was bright as ever. This was as close as I could get, because there's a no trespassing fence surrounding this and I had no interest in disrespecting that. dllm.ca
Herronton is located 7 kilometres west of Mossleigh on Highway 24 and Secondary 547, and 10 kilometres south on Range Road 25-5. It is the last of 5 elevators, and is located on the CP line which runs from Eltham Junction to Mossleigh.

Our next stop was one that Hayley's fiance was adament that we see. I'd seen it from the road and had driven near it but had never been up close. This old grain elevator couldn't have been cooler looking and a better photo op in the evening light. The prairie was fairly glowing so I took as many shots as I could and hoped they would work out. And they did! Not only did Hayley and I have fun walking around the old elevator, but Koda (her bird dog) had fun flushing out any birds or critters in the area :) I hope you enjoy the photos of the grain elevator and can get a little of the feeling of being out on the vast and open prairie in early summer.
It's hard to create a satisfying composition with an ultrawide, at least for subjects like this. The distortion at the edge of the frame makes the rule of thirds hard to implement. I haven't tried any distortion fixing programs but I'm wondering if it'll degrade image quality a lot. I think I finally have the colour settings correct on my main monitor. I'm pretty sure it is correctly calibrated, at least it looks ok on all my monitors.
