Taking photos from a moving vehicle, in this case The Canadian Train across the continent from Toronto to Vancouver, means that the images are not necessarily as sharp as they could be.
Sunflowers in the Prairies
But you get the idea that these croplands are BIG!
I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

Makes the fields around here look like postage stamps Jude. That was some trip indeed.

It was an amazing trip Pete. My first visit to Canada and I loved all of it 🙂
How long did you travel in Canada? Across the prairies? 😮
3 weeks on the first trip, 3 days on the train across the country. I love Canada! It is just so BIG!
Yes, it is. Lots and lots of trees and air to breathe, except in the major cities. I’d promised myself a train trip across the country. Maybe someday. Glad you enjoyed it. ❤
It might be too expensive now! But I am glad I did it.
Yes, it is expensive now. One of my sisters mentioned train travel a while back, that it’s almost as much as flying (not quite) to out west.
Ah, but much nicer, watching the landscapes roll by, rocking to sleep with the motion of the train, dining in the restaurant car and sitting up in the observation cabin with a 360 degree view! SO much better than flying. It was expensive when we did it (2005) but well worth it.
It’s so complicated getting to the train station in Toronto from where I live. I haven’t been on a train in over 40 years. Isn’t that terrible?
Probably a good thing! Well, going by trains in this country which are expensive, often overcrowded and sometimes filthy. Unfortunately I do have to use them occasionally.
Traveling by train IS so much more enjoyable and I love the dining car and watching the scenery.
You are talking about YOUR trains. Although I do enjoy riding on our steam railways. No dining car though.
I have no idea, except for TV commercials, how much trains have changed here in the past 40 or 50 years since I rode one. 😀
Sorry, my finger’s trigger happy. Taking pictures in motion gives them a surreal quality, yes? I like this one.
I usually avoid taking photos from the side view as that always comes out very blurred, whereas through the front they can be OK. No option on the train though, unless you managed to get the front seat up in the observation cabin. I do like the feeling of movement this one portrays, speeding past huge fields of crops and yet still seeing so much.
I took some pictures from the bus while on holidays and blurr, blurr, blurr. Ugh.
Vast!
It is. Very.
Ha! You just reminded me of my train journey along the Douro 🙂 Some of my shots were…
…blurred?
Your blurred image does indeed suggest the vastness of those croplands.
oh I would love to take a train through Canada like this – bet it was nice, eh? (get it.. eh?- jk)
and what a nice entry for the wpc – seems like such a nice weather on this day….
It was… nice 😉

Lovely colors, I feel like I was sitting in front of the window with you. 🙂
There was much to see, though a LOT of trees and lakes and telegraph poles 😉
