{lethbridge}

***
Some more pictures from our trip. I took tons of pictures when we went for a nature walk in the coulees in Lethbridge with our friends. Jay and I lived in Lethbridge for few years so it feels like home when we're there. The coulees are one of my favorite things about Lethbridge. Southern Alberta is mainly flat, flat, flat. Prairie land. But the coulees bring nice variety to the flatness. You can find cacti on the hills! I actually didn't realize how much I had missed the prairie too. Flat grain fields with hardly any trees at all as far as eye can see. Big sky. Mountains way on the background. Lots of beauty in Alberta. Variety.

Once again - my camera settings were off and I didn't realize that until we got home. Not the best quality pictures. My pictures never do justice anyways for beautiful nature.
I actually totally loved it being fall. The colors were awesomely muted and earthy. The smell and the tree silhouettes were heavenly.

I think this is the longest train bridge in Canada (or something like that if I remember right). It would be nerve wrecking to be way up there in a train.

Sienna kept collecting sticks. She wouldn't look at the camera so I asked her to show her sticks. Whatever works, right. :)

More pictures later. As I said - I took lots. Aren't you guys lucky. :)

ps. I found some info on the bridge:
This bridge is still the longest and highest of its kind in the world reaching 5,327.625 feet long (1.6km) and 314 feet high (96 meters). In its time it has been described by some as one of the wonders of the world!

  5. brandy: The coulees are so fun. They do make an amazing playing ground for kids. I would have had a blast as a kid there too. Minus the rattlesnakes. :)

    stina & marita: Kiitti. :)

    suvi: Tuossa kuvassa mun hiukset ehka nayttaa paksummilta kun ne on takin paalla tuolleen. Mutta nayttaa myos paksummilta kun en nykyaan suorista niita kovin usein. Foonaan vaan. Olen menettanyt paljon hiuksia mutta toivon etta nykyinen laakitykseni auttaa asiaa (kapyrauhas laakkeet). Muista pitaa sun rauta-arvot hyvana niin auttaa hiuksiakin. Nyt mua jannittaa puolestasi etta miten hiusten kay. Toivottavasti onnistuu. Minunkin pitaisi taas varjayttaa ja aina se pelottaa minuakin. Varsinkin kun olen miettinyt etta etsisin uuden kampaajan taas. Monet muuten kadehtisivat (khm, mina esim) sun luonnostaan blondeja hiuksia. Ei tarvisi bleachata niita koko ajan.
