Will, we have returned from a wonderful week out west in Saskatchewan. We visited with our daughter, her family and friends.
The flight out was marvelous, from Winnipeg to Regina we flew on a small jet and wow what a view of the prairie provinces! We were able to see how vast an area it is and I loved looking at the river as it flowed with such great twists and turns. This phenomenon I am told is called Oxbows...An oxbow lake is a U-shaped body of water formed when a wide meander from the mainstem of a river is cut off to create a lake. This landform is called an oxbow lake for the distinctive curved shape that results from this process. By itself, the word oxbow can also mean a U-shaped bend in a river or stream, whether or not it is cut off from the mainstream.[1][2]
As it happens our daughter and her husband live in the lovely town of Oxbow Sask.
I was amazed by the views and my husband and I tried taking picture from our seats, they may not be clear but hopefully you can get the zest of the vastness of the land mass and the river meandering.
