A Field of Beauty

Driving through Central Alberta on my way home. Stopped at a little town called Bentley. While walking through the cemetery I came across this view and knew I had to get a picture.
The colors of the Canola field with the green of the trees and the blue sky together provides such wonderful colors to enjoy.
Interestingly enough one of the people I am following, Lauren, took a very similar shot and I decided today that it would be neat to compare shots

[Annie Feeley]

[Shanne]

such a beautiful view - that canola is such a recognisable colour (it's called oil seed rape over here)

it is indeed a beautiful view

@http365proj Glad you enjoyed it

[bkb in the city]

@shanne They used to call it rape seed over here and then sometime ago changed the name

[Linda]

It is a wonderful view! I did not know that Canola was the same as rape seed, thanks for the info!

[Pam Hawkes]

Great view.

[Marjorie Moss]

Beautiful! It reminds me in way of the German countryside...the rolling hills divided into fields.

[bkb in the city]

@sunnygreenwood Thanks glad you enjoyed it

@drewhedden Thanks. When you drive through this area all you see as far as you canlook is fields like this

[summerfield]

yours have a totally different perspective than the other photograph so to make a comparison would not be quite fair. this is why i love to see other photographers' take on a scene i've shot. our eyes just see something quite differently from the other person's.

i'm so glad you didn't shoot this in black and white because then it would not have the same effect on the viewer if it was in b&w. i love the contrasting greens and the flowery shrub on the left gave it the perfect depth. thank you for this; it is beautiful.

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield Your welcome. I knew that I had to show the colors in this one because that is what got my attention in the first place. Thank you for all your comments

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's quite beautiful! Yes, I agree the greens are lovely- it's a very peaceful scene. In some ways it reminds me of our state of Ohio- which has similar geography. I like the lighting too- a nice summery color indeed!

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann Thanks. I have travelled a lot in the states but have been to Ohio. I hope someday to visit there

[Diane]

So peaceful--love all the different shades of green

[bkb in the city]

@eudora The countryside in this area is amazing

[Caitlin G.]

Gorgeous :)

[bkb in the city]

[Barry]

[bkb in the city]

@poppa Glad you like it

[Marlene Chabot]

Howdy fellow Canadian. I live in Invermere BC - not too far from you. There's not many Canadians on here that I have found. Love your photo of the canola fields. My son lives in Strathmore on a huge farm, and I've done a couple photos shoots in the canola fields. They are absolutely spectacular!!

[bkb in the city]

@mackena Hello to you too. Glad you enjoyed this one . I will have to start following your work. MY brother-in-law lives in Cranbrook so we do get out to BC once in a while

[Michael Ashfield]

Beautiful shot, verry calming view,
