- Description
- An Alberta harvest scene. In the foreground is an area of wheat that has been cut down in concentric circles. A circular area of wheat has been left standing in the centre of the circles. This field of wheat is a vivid orange and a pale yellow. At the centre-right of the image is a black oil derrick. To the left of the derrick and further in the distance are several grain elevators, of which a few are bright red. In the distance are the Rocky Mountains. A soft grey-blue sky makes up the top portion of the print.

- Description
- Red and white grain elevators are at the centre of the print. They bear the logos of “Alberta Pacific” and “United Grain Growers.” Four are larger and in the foreground. Another one is visible further away. Smaller outbuildings and telephone poles surround the grain elevators. The sky is a clear blue that fades to white on the horizon. Thin streaky clouds stretch across the print. The foreground is green, white and dark brown. It looks like it has been plowed in roughly even rows.
