The Prairies of Manitoba and Saskatchewan are over 1,000 kms of, flat, and rolling farmland. The seemingly endless fields of grain have already been harvested, so only the vast fields of stubble are left in autumn. For variety, and to take a break, we stop in some of the towns to check out their grain elevators. Few of the old wooden structures are still left. Many of our favourites have been taken down in recent years. First stop is in Chaplin, Saskatchewan...
There's a cool breeze this morning....
Coco loves all the long trains, and as luck would have it, one passes by as we are there....
Next stop is Herbert, to check out their grain elevators. I caught the reflection in a pond on the north side of the tracks. Contrary to most people's image of the Prairies as being one endless flat, dry expanse, Saskatchewan is mostly gently rolling hills dotted with countless ponds and marshes.
Waiting for another train.....
