McBride Lake Wind Farm - Southern Alberta

I was shooting photos in the McBride Lake wind farm on this morning, and there were wind warnings out for this part of Southern Alberta! This area located just west of Fort Mcleod is a haven for wind turbines such as the ones in my photo. I had problems shooting photos with the gusting winds! Expand the photo and look at the antennas on my truck being whipped about by the wind! I saw one gust of 140 kph on my anemometer! The highest recorded gust speed recorded by Enviroment Canada in this area of Alberta on this day was 148 kph!
Sailing The Ghost
Where The Wind Blows
Where The Wind Blows - I shot this photo off of Highway 66 near Paddy's Flat west of Bragg Creek Alberta.  I noticed that the wind was kicking up the snow as it gusted around these corrals used in the summer for trail ridding. I set up my camera and with live-view enabled, I waited until a gust of wind helped me create this image.
