This summer, we travelled to Ponteix, Saskatchewan, for a family reunion on my mother’s side of the family. It was 100 years the Cloutiers had been on the family farm.
I brought my camera along becase I felt going to my mum’s hometown would present some nice photo opportunities.
One of the photos I took was after Regan and Aisling had been playing on a playground near our hotel. They wanted to check out the creek that runs through the city, and we had to cross the train tracks to get there.
While we were on the tracks, I saw the elevators off to the east, and the gorgeous colours the setting sun produced. I had the children sit on the tracks, and snapped a few photos.
I was pleased with how this one turned out. So were others, and I had multiple suggestions to submit it to a photo contest.
So I did, albeit nonchalantly.
Today, I received a package in the mail from Tourism Saskatchewan saying this photo was given an honourable mention in the “people†category of their Great Saskatchewan Photo Contest. I received a 2010 calendar as a consolation prize.
I thought that was kind of neat. Winners should be posted on their site next week.
