The Stark Winter Beauty of the Prairies

I spend so much time out in the mountains that sometimes I forget about how much natural beauty surrounds Calgary to the north, south, and east. The prairies are sparse but beautiful; in winter, being there can feel like you are surrounded by endless meters of thick snow and virtually nothing else. We found this scene a few weeks ago on our trip out to the Badlands for an afternoon workshop, but we easily could have spent the whole day just taking photos of groves of trees surrounded by snow!
