Foothills Late Autumn Near Sheep River

Foothills Late Autumn near Sheep River.

Already late autumn can be seen in the Foothills at higher elevation. Leafs are gone and snow could come from the Rockies any time now.

Last Sunday, October 19, 2003 we went for a ride to the Undulating Foothills west of Millarville and Turner Valley . It was a gorgeous autumn warm day because of Chinook winds. ... (more)

Dear Friends,
I am overwhelmed with your enthusiastic response to my images taken last weekend. I have to admit that I am a person who likes all of the four seasons! All year long, I view the world around me as one enchanted scenery given to us, offered to us to enjoy! With recent digital photography, it is so easy to present our observations. Photography for me is like a daily prayer and I like to share it with you. Your photography and your presentations are for me like a continuation and addition to my world. I really enjoy your shots, your composition and the world seen by you. I very much sympathize with Don. It is very, very frustrating when that special magic moment cannot be recorded. I experienced twice camera breakage in Germany a few years ago. It was disastrous! . Dear Friends, You are wonderful people, supportive and have superb pictures. Always with great interest, I view your images and Don your lovely city of Edmonton is always on my wifes mind :)))! Warm regards to all of you,

Hi Rafal,
More great pictures of one of the most beautiful areas of our province. I enjoy hiking after most of the leaves have fallen because there are vistas opened up that are blocked by foliage in the summer. My wife and I have been out regularly over the past several weeks enjoying the great autumn weather. Unfortunately I haven't been able to take any pictures because my camera has been in the repair shop for two weeks. Very frustrating! But the memories are still there.

Hi Rafal,
Soon this beautiful landscape as well as most of Canada will turn from green to white. Nevertheless, it will simply be a transformation from one beauty to another!:) Looks like a great place for hiking, really like all the pics especially the "open meadows in foothills." Cheers!!!

no words!
I'm not so original saying that your pictures are great...but if you keep showing such beautiful places one of these days I give up everything and I go there...:-)I love too much the nature and the mountains to ignore something so precious! Thanks for giving all of us a chance to enjoy it:-)

So pretty
Hi Rafal, despite the lack of leaves, there is still such beautiful color. The sky is so brilliant it makes up for the lack of colorful leaves. DM
