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.
