Prairie Barn and Sky – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
It was a beautiful summer day when the heavens were opening up as they crossed the prairies. I have adored this barn as it seems to be perfection to me. I also love the perplexity in the contrast of the dark blue clouds versus the white fluffy clouds. They seem to be combining into what might be a great prairie storm coming in its midst. I love that you can see the direction of the weather pattern as it crosses the fields.
With my art, I am often in a zen-type of mood and with my photography, I feel as if I am inspired by God or the Universe to capture these moments in time.

Panoramic Winter Scene – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
This is a panoramic scene of Lake Winnipeg just as freeze up is starting to happen. Even though Lake Winnipeg is the 10th largest freshwater lake in the world, it gets so cold here that semi-trucks can drive on the ice roads. People go ice fishing as a sport and enjoyment all winter long, when safe to do so.
The sky was particularly playful this day at this time. “It was dancing and swaying to the music.” It is just like Johnny Rivers was singing to the clouds in the sky.

Angles and Waves – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
This huge rock and pile of trees are in front of the water’s edge. I have focusssed it to showcase the varying textures from the ripples in the water, to the growth of the brush to the angle of the tree branches. Fluffy light clouds highlight the top of the photograph.

Beautiful Clouds 101 – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
I was on my way back by plane from Churchill, Manitoba to the capital, Winnipeg, Manitoba. I was blessed to see an array of beautiful clouds. Every second we moved, we came across some more incredible formations. I love the blue colours surrounding the white fluffy, puffy clouds.

I absolutely loved taking these photographs of autumn. We were beside the lakeshore on Lake Winnipeg lying on our backs watching the leaves fall down. The colours in the trees were beautiful and the skyline had streaks of clouds in it. It was breathtaking and a very special series of moments.
It was taken in Little Deer which is between Beaver Creek and Pine Dock on the west shore of Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba.

Up on the Athabasca Glacier, you will see a ton of ice and snow. You will see Heaven as you are higher up on the mountains. It is as if you are at the height of heaven because the clouds are right there at sight level.
This photograph was captured after taking one of the tour buses up the glacier during summer-type conditions but it was just like winter. You had better bring some warm jackets or coats to keep warm from the cold.
This glacier is found about half way between Banff and Jasper, Alberta.
According to Wikipedia, “The Athabasca Glacier is one of the six principal ‘toes’ of the Columbia Icefield, located in the Canadian Rockies. The glacier currently loses depth at a rate of about 5 metres (16 ft) per year and has receded more than 1.5 km (0.93 mi) and lost over half of its volume in the past 125 years.”

Dark Farmland – Photography by Mary Mikawoz Click on image or link to see entire photograph
Dark Farmland
I took this photograph because I liked the composition of the farm house, the grain bin and the hay bale. I have created a digital artwork like a painting from it using the colours present in the picture. It is taking the best of black and white while highlighting it with colours as well.
It seems like there are dark clouds in the background while sunlight still shines on the foreground. I feel there is a beauty despite it being a gloomy and sulky image. Where there is darkness, there is also a glimmer of hope.
It was taken in the Interlake area of Manitoba.

Blue Door – Black and White Photography by Mary MIkawoz Click image or link to see entire photograph
Blue Door
I took this photograph of a few outcrop buildings in the prairie fields of rural Manitoba. I found it interesting because it had a blue door naturally. I have made the image black and white so that it stands out even more.
It was found on a farm in the Rural Municipality of Morris south of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I hope you like it and find it an interesting shot.

Here is a photograph I took of an abandoned old farm house out on the range. It is dramatic with the clouds in the West. It is as if it is brooding with emotion. I also enjoy the perspective of the house in the photograph as a whole.

Here is an image of free range buffalo or bison in the Wild West of Canada. They are roaming freely across the grassy foothills of the mountains. It is part of the Bison Paddock Road in Waterton Lakes National Park. I like the way the scenery is composed by nature.
