When I was going to school and working in Calgary, I used to drive a lot along the roads between Crowsnest Pass (where I grew up) and Calgary. There was one particular road called highway 540 where I often found myself stopping to take photos. One evening, on my drive back to Calgary, I stopped when I saw a big cloud forming and blowing towards me. The strange thing in this part of Alberta is that the land is so flat that you can see for miles. This means that you can see storms forming in the distance. As I’m used to living in the mountains, the only way to see that far into the distance is to get up very high.

It was late when I was driving back to Calgary, and the sun was just starting to go down behind me so there was a soft golden light on the wheat fields. Whenever I see cool moments like this, it always makes me wonder the countless number of moments that go either unphotographed, or unwitnessed. Between the storms, the sunsets, and the sunrises that are occuring all of the time, there must always be something incredible that is going unseen.
