The Slow Surrender. (Explored)
I took a trip into Saskatchewan earlier this week to scout locations to shoot this summer. I managed to find most of what I was looking for. My first picture from the trip however is from Alberta. This is my favourite house by a long shot! It never seems to let me down. As I was driving back from Sask a heavy fog rolled in, I couldn't see more than 20 feet ahead of me and the sun was down by this point, I was only able to travel at about 50km/h. It was pitch black and near zero visibility so I was forced to stop at the closest hotel I could find.
The closest town was Hanna, so I got a room for the night against my will. I just wanted to go home. this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I was up early wanting to hit the road but the fog was still too much. I was literally trapped. My choices were to drive super slow back to Edmonton through the fog or wait it out. I managed to find my way to this beauty through the the fog.
I made it here at about 7:15 am and trudged through the snow up to the house. It was eerily quiet and a very different atmosphere than the summer or fall when I usually visit. In the end it cost me a few extra bucks for that stop along the way but if I hadn't have stopped I wouldn't have been able to capture this frosty version of my favourite homestead! Enjoy!
On a side note the Travel Lodge in Hanna has awesome pizza and great convo with Dave the bartender.
