Nothing I say, do or write could ever top this wonderful photography.
The joy of this world is caught in seconds. What a gifted photographer
and whoever else went into making this video.

Re: Marvelous photography

You know considering this video is about Alberta I do wonder why the Province won't provide photographs to people wanting to profile the Province. The only thing I knew about Alberta was that it was a Prairie Province and hence grew lots of wheat. I learnt that in Geography class at school. And so for some 45 years I was of the opinion that Alberta was a flat place that grew wheat. I can never remember ever seeing a picture of the Province.

So it was many years later when doing the history of Alberta for the Electric Scotland site that I first realised that there it was such a wonderful place from a scenic point of view. So that's around 45 years that I had no interest in the area and would never have considered it a place to go to for a holiday. I can't help thinking that their tourism industry has missed a huge opportunity by not using web sites around the world for their advantage. I mean when doing the history it is all text... not even one picture. Yet asking for a wee selection of pictures to go with the history they refused to help.

Saskatchewan is the wheat province, not much in Manitoba or Alberta.

Re: Marvelous photography

Thanks for that Hugh. Mind you I still say there is a lot of ignorance about the various Provinces in Canada which is why I simply don't understand the lack of good material being easily available. And it's the same for Scotland. Loads of people with Scots descent likely know almost nothing about Scotland. I feel it's a marketing trait that doesn't allow decent information to be widely available. From an online perspective they all seem to think having a web site is the answer but fact is that it simply doesn't work. In my opinion when you look at the web as a marketing tool then no more than 20% of your online marketing budget should be spent on your own web site.... 80% should be getting out your information onto other web sites.

Re: Marvelous photography

Alberta is ranching and tourism (scenery), and Manitoba is mixed farming and dairy. On my last trip out west, Saskatchewan seemed to be growing more canola than wheat.
