It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...
OK maybe not
that dramatic but it was an interesting year...personally, creatively, nationally and globally. For me it was the year my amateur photography and infatuation with exploring the back roads of Alberta really took over. In that spirit I figured I would highlight a few of my favourite images from 2016 in no particular order.

DeleteThe Botha merchantile brings back childhood terror. My father built the white house across the street from that Stag mural which at one ppomt was painted over with an alberta rose. The house was possessed with demons. I spent every night in pure terror awake in fear with different demons surrounding me . I couldnt scream or call for my parents. We stayed there until I was in grade 3 in the late 70s.
ReplyDeleteHi Shellie, that sounds horrific! I bet you were relieved to move away from there.
