Description
Northwest of Cochrane, Highway 40 offers an adventure into the Waiparous Valley area. Along this stretch of rough gravel live several herds of Alberta Wild Horses. One chilly cloudy morning, I was out on an adventure to photograph the “Wildies”. I was fortunate to see three herds on my adventure. As I drove down a backroad, something was moving in the woods. I jumped out of the car, made my way up the hill and deep in the woods spotted a small herd of horses. This herd was skittish and immediately the majority moved out of sight. This one, stood in the trees and we watched each other for a few moments. It was dark, making it difficult to photograph, but a moment of sunshine broke through the clouds and rays of light came streaming through the trees. One moment, one shot – but it was the one that brought this beauty into focus.
