Westbrook S.D. No. 1024



Late afternoon sunlight on a brick-faced one-room-school near Theodore, Saskatchewan.


Just west of the school some farmers were picking up the last of their straw bales.  That's a job they like to get done before any snowfall but sometimes the weather just doesn't cooperate.  Some of the crops in the area didn't even get harvested before winter set in.


It was clear and cold but the sun was shining...that's always a bonus on a winter's day.

  1. Late afternoon sun has a special quality all its own, doesn't it!

  2. Backroads Saskatchewan has a lot of great things to see. Brick schools are rare in Alberta.

    1. I think I spend more time on the backroads of Saskatchewan than anywhere else.

  3. We saw a farmer harvesting corn in the snow the other day. Maybe he needed to wait until the ground was frozen but it did seem to be strange timing.

    1. The farmers have been having a tough time the past few years...crazy, unpredictable weather.
