Abandoned Prairie Homesteads

Every time I travel the prairie provinces in Canada, I pass a small rural town in Alberta. As you drive by, the only view of the town that you can see are abandoned buildings, once very viable farming homesteads but now just a reminder of forgotten times. On my recent trip I decided to stop, and with camera in hand, thought I might be able to capture some of those days of your. The photographs below is my attempt. Although not as pretty as flowers or as bold as mountains there is something still picturesque about these images.
