Post #1, Alberta, Canada, December Driving

After 10 years of driving around the western United States I have decided to to start sharing some of my impressions of wriding (writing and riding) across the west. I drive, shoot pictures and have odd thoughts, every trip. So the idea is to start sharing them.

The photo below,

Sunrise, Pickardville, AB, Canada 12/10/2008, 9:00 AM

is a sunrise I happened to catch this last December, north of Edmonton, AB. It was 9:00 AM December 10th, 2008. Yup, up north, sunrise, 9:00. Ah, sunset? 4:00 PM close to the shortest day of the year.

Here I am, up north, driving already for 2 hours, had seen one customer and was popping into Polar Bear Water(Fitting name for the area and time of year). Thought I better shoot the sunrise. Thought it was beautful.

I actually shot about 7 pictures of the area.

This one is my favorite.
So, I made the sales call with Polar Bear, then had to drive back to Edmonton. Thankfully, no pictures of Edmonton, but one more of the drive back. I spent the day in the car, seeing customers, actually that afternoon, I shot all the way across Alberta to a town called Lloydminster, saw a customer an then drove back 2 1/2 hours to my hotel. Think it was a 13 hour car day. Must be why I make the big bucks, eh?

So, as I drive around, I shoot pictures. Some are interesting to me, some might be interesting to you. The best thing about these pictures is that my windows were clean. Often they are not.

Enjoy.
