Erratics

I still can't sleep. So instead, I decided I would go though all my old photos, and try posting some of the better ones. This is one from the Okotoks Erratics. It's a big stone that was deposited out on the praries by a glacier, hundreds of thousands of years ago. It's already broken down into two rocks, and in a few thousand years, it'll probably be just a pile of rubble.

I really like this picture. I'm still waiting for some random jerk to leap out of the woodwork and tell me that it's not mine, that I ripped it out of a textbook. Well, I didn't. I shot this one way back in March, when it was unseasonably warm. It's a perfect shot, everything turned out, despite how windy it was that day. I'm just glad I didn't catch the dorks who were clambering up the backside of the Erratic when I shot this picture (the erratic is protected by laws, no touchy).

I would like to go back out there some time this summer. It's less than an hour's drive from where I live, although ironically, it's a three hour drive home from there. I doubt there'll be a chance to though, too much work, and despite my desire to go, there are other commitments that demand more immediate attention.
