Feb 1 Sun Dogs

We had a pretty good blizzard here yesterday and last night, with winds gusting to 90km/h. When the sun came up this morning, the wind had calmed down a little bit and it was pretty cold. But, the sky was clear and the sun was accompanied by two bright "sun dogs".

Land of living skies and the harvest comes to a close for another year. Off in the distance, the combines stir up dust clouds as they gather up the last of the grain.

Panoramic View On The Ridge

I was helping my neighbor cultivate near our homestead. This is a 180 degree view (approximately) from atop the ridge, south-east from the homestead. Every small clump of trees that can be seen on the horizon is most likely one of our neighbor's homestead. And every little cloud of dust you can see on the horizon is one of the neighbors seeding in the field (look towards the center and to the right a bit).

This area is part of the ridge that forms the shallow valley, which you can see towards the center of the photo. It's one of the highest points in the area, apart from the ridge, which our homestead is located, towards the left of the photo.

From up here, you can see for miles and miles. The view can be breath-taking out here sometimes (well I think it is, anyway). But, it's difficult to appreciate it in a mere photograph.
