Description
The western Canadian prairies are often described as "big sky country". The earth-bound space is wide open, but so is the huge region of sky above it. The two fit together so well, including in the Cypress Hills which rise up above the surrounding prairies. Some days, the spaces seem to particularly relate to each other, perhaps through echoing shapes, patterns or textures as I found here on this day. The cloud shapes seem almost organic, while the sparse shrubs on the plateau atop this stretch of the Cypress Hills seemed to mimic the cloud formation. Many humans down through the ages have yearned for the sky. It makes me wonder, a bit fancifully in the fall morning light: if the land itself could dream, would it ever dream of being sky?
