To continue with my blog I want you present the other side of the medal too. I'll show you yet another face of this great country.
Before the oil era, Alberta was known as a Cowboy country. I was thinking that that part is gone but I was wrong. Every bigger town has its own rodeo event each summer. A different kind of tradition and competitions.
It's more like sport but even in real life, Cowboys are still around. A lot of land and beef farming. Despite technology some job still needs to be done manually. In the saddle on the horseback. And these guys are masters.
This image tells it all.

Calgary Stampede is the biggest tourist event in Canada. Thousands of people all over the world visit this great exhibition every year.
The typical specimen of it's kind.
And another.
We'll never know how many hours they spent to prepare them to look like this.
Oh, and I didn't forget. We have Cowgirls too.
It's nice sunny Saturday here. Enjoy yours.
Hhah I liked the way you said we also have cowgirls too lol
I like cow boys, you know they just look different and seeing them you can tell from where they are coming. Maybe one reason of liking them is that they have horses and I like horses.
cowboys are indeed classic but still modern in any age. thanks for sharing sir

Some professions are a crucial part of our history, I guess yours is cow-farming. They are important aspect of our culture and development, no amount of civilization can erase that.

Indeed Canada has a rich past. It is sad that everybody associate cowboy life with the USA when another countries, including Canada of course, also has a rich tradition about this.

I think,it is so......... difficult to doing this task.Along with it is interesting too,but it is so risky. with a wonderful attempt, these boys will improve so much.I amazed and like it much.
That other vision of the city is very interesting, and also honors its ancestors. Best regards.
Follow the area where the dinosaurs first traveled, see northern lights, enjoy winter sports in the Canadian Rockies, and peek out early life at historic sites and museums.Alberta has a wide variety. The famous Canadian Rockies as a ski resort, wilderness, and winter activity adjacent to the Badlands desert have prehistoric geology and dinosaur fossils. There is an abundance of adventures in this open location: seeing giant bears or wolves, digging dinosaur bones, and walking in the midst of the gigantic Hoodoo Rocks.@oldtimer
Had I been able to visit this place, I am sure this place must be very enjoyable.
Very nice my friend,,
Very good friend
Have not been to the Stampede since High School in the 70's. I try to stay away and leave room for the tourists from afar. Back in those days it was for real cowboys and of course drinking sports as I remember.
@ildtimer Cowboy like antiques, the longer the more valuable
very cool good job my friends success continues
It is really awesome photography, thanks for sharing sir

very nice photography dear
I like the color of that "spotted" horse. I am not sure that the relation of its size to the weight of its rider is very healthy... but the horse looks beautiful.
