I forced myself to go picture-taking today. (Sometimes the muse is just not there - you know?) The foliage is looking pretty impressive right now and I figured I could probably find something down at Wascana Park. (This is a large park surrounding the Saskatchewan Legislature.) There were some trees that were pretty nice, but nothing that really grabbed me. So... off to the highway.
I love driving on the highway. (I have no idea why.) It's so relaxing... I don't enjoy urban driving anymore, but I just love to get on the highway.
So... I drove north on Highway 6 a bit and then turned west on a grid road that said it led to Craven. (Craven is northwest of Regina, and there is paved road more or less directly back.) Finally! I found a stand of perfect poplars. They were in absolutely peak colour. (I wouldn't be surprised if they were past peak as soon as tomorrow.) I shot a roll of 36 of Velvia 100F. (I was going to shoot some 4x5 but stupid Jim forgot his tripod again.)
I wouldn't call it my most efficient photo trip ever... but it was nice to get out of the city. And the car is happy now.
