Amber Fields of Grain

Late every summer the grain crops on the prairies have ripened and are a beautiful golden color.  There are tens of thousands of acres that look just like these — grains that feeds a hungry world.  I find wheat to be one of the more photogenic crops, partially because I enjoy the wonderful foods made from it.  As you can see, it was a good harvest that year.  The heads are so heavy they bend the plant.

These photos were taken in southern Alberta, near Coyote Flats.
