The big skies of the Canadian prairies are dramatic, but never more so than when shrouded in the enormous, ominous clouds of a big, thunderous summer storm system.
As I don’t live in the prairies these selected images are from a recent trip to the Drumheller area of Alberta. The skies were covered in storm systems that day which we watched develop and dissipate as we journeyed.
There’s nothing quite like a big stormy day on the prairie …
Thanks for visiting …

Eyes to Heart 
beautiful photos.. we also witnessed a thunderstorm in Drumheller some years ago while camping there. I’ve not seen anything like it since.
Thanks for visiting and for your comment, Vicki. … I can only imagine how intense that experience must have been. Drumheller is an area of such weather extremes. … Be well, Dorothy 🙂
The black and white worked out well, especially with the last photo of the barn. Makes it look like a photo from the 30’s!
Thanks so much for your comment. It means a lot. My family has a checkered history on the prairie so the spirit of it runs deep in my veins. Your words tell me this is reflected in my vision of this beautiful land. … Thanks for visiting. … Be well, Dorothy 🙂
Great idea for this week topic big 🙂
Thank you for visiting and for your comment. … I kind of thought so too. 😉 … Be well, Dorothy 🙂
Stunning prairie shots!!
Thanks for visiting, following and commenting on my blog. … I love the prairies. … Be well, Dorothy 🙂
Awesome, and big, skies! That last one with the old farm buildings is wonderful. I love old farms / barns, the closer to falling in on themselves the better.
I agree, there’s nothing like an old barn or outbuilding. I watch for them all the time when I’m travelling in the countryside. … Thanks for visiting and leaving your comment, Jeff. … Be well, Dorothy 🙂
Stunning pictures. I liked the last picture a lot. Great post.
Thanks so much for visiting and for leaving your lovely comment. … Be well, Dorothy 🙂
There truly isn’t anything that comes close to the beauty in Canadian skies. If there’s one thing we always miss about Canada, it’s the skies. So expansive and full of life.
Especially in Alberta, I’d say. The sky is so big you can see a storm developing way in the distance and watch it get closer, which we did a couple of times on this particular day. … Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. Be well, Dorothy 🙂
