A Different Alberta
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
