EDITORS COMMENTS
Chinook in the Foothills: Alberta," a captivating photograph taken by R. Gissing in 1941, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Alberta, Canada. This image is part of Lady Susan Buchan's book "Canada," published in the "British Commonwealth in Pictures" series by Collins, London, in 1941. The photograph presents a stunning landscape of the Alberta foothills, where the rolling hills meet the majestic mountains. The scene is dominated by the towering, snow-capped peaks that pierce the sky, their jagged edges softened by the gentle curves of the land below. The foothills are blanketed in a lush green cover, dotted with patches of golden autumn foliage, adding a burst of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The photograph's title refers to the Chinook cloud, a meteorological phenomenon unique to the western prairies of North America. The cloud, visible in the photograph, is a warm, moist air mass that rises over the Rocky Mountains and brings a sudden and dramatic shift in weather. The Chinook cloud appears as a flat, gray, or white blanket that covers the foothills, often melting the snow on the mountainside and bringing a warm spell to the region. The photograph's creator, R. Gissing, expertly captures the essence of Alberta's diverse geography and ever-changing weather. Lady Susan Buchan, the author of "Canada," was a Scottish-born writer and poet, who, along with her husband, William Collins, traveled extensively throughout the British Commonwealth to document its people, culture, and landscapes. The photograph is a testament to their dedication to preserving the beauty and richness of the Commonwealth in pictures. This photograph, with its timeless appeal and evocative imagery, continues to inspire awe and appreciation for the natural wonders of Alberta and the Canadian landscape.
