All the photos in this gallery have one thing in common, they were all shot while out and about in southern Alberta.

Jerry Clement > Red Rock Coulee with the Sweetgrass Hills visible a 100 kilometers off to the southwest in Montana. I love this S.E. corner of Alberta, and whats not to like, with landscapes such as this one. I shot this photo at high noon, and I plan on going back one day, and doing this landscape justice, by shooting photos in the magic light of Sunrise, and possibly the evening light.
Jerry Clement > Enjoying the view, with the Sweetgrass Hills shimering like a mirage in the distance.
Jerry Clement > Red Rock Coulee Many features make Red Rock Coulee a special place to visit. Bedrock is close to the surface in this area, covered by only a thin layer of soil. Water erosion has carved the landscape over time and a badlands topography has formed in places. The bands of colour visible in the exposed bedrock are made of dark gray shales, greenish and gray sandstones, bentonitic clays and thin bands of ironstone. The most striking features of this landscape are the round reddish boulders. These are sandstone concretions and at up to 2.5 metres in diameter, they are among the largest in the world. The boulders were formed in prehistoric seas as layers of sand, calcite and iron oxide collected around a nucleus formed by shells, leaves or bones. The concretions grew larger as the circulating waters deposited more layers. The reddish colour comes from iron oxide. Look carefully at the concretions - you may be able to see their "growth rings" (layers of sediment deposition) and fossilized shells, leaves or bones.

Jerry Clement > Bow Valley Parkway - Sunrise - Banff Park - This backroad located in Banff Park is my favorite for the wonderful vistas and the wildlife, and I re-claim it in the winter time when the visitors have gone home! http://ve6ab.blogspot.com/2010/12/morning-after-darkness.html
