The Brooks Aqueduct

Traveling across southern Alberta on a dusty back road, I suddenly became conscious of a ditch at the side of the road, filled with water. There are many ditches that had pools of water in them but this water was different. Out in the open prairie, away from any water source, this ditch was full…

Light is just staring to creep into the blackness of the night. First one bird starts to sing it’s song to the morning and then another. As the black sky fades to blue, the world starts to come alive and the air is filled with bird song. The sun rises and shines strong in the…

I remember when I first saw this church. I was just starting my trip across Canada. I was traveling alone, making my way from Vancouver to the Yukon. I had no agenda and no time frame. I had only been traveling for about three hours and I had stopped plenty of times to take photos…
