Ah, the plains of Alberta. Something like around Clyde, right? Some of my family homesteaded there, as you know. :) Great shot!

I love the fact that the snow on the dead grass near the cabin has already melted.

Beautiful! A very stark and cold landscape. I'd love to see the inside.

Very lonely and cold.

Very nice photo. Interesting, also, that your posting of this photo coincides with the US Mint’s issuing of the “Homestead National Park” commemorative quarter, the latest in its “National Parks” series.

I can only imagine the cold desolation in the long winters. Like you read in storys. And the wind there must be awful with nothing to buffer it. Tells a story. Linda S
