At the edge of a field near the tiny community of Alticane, Sask., there is a grove of aspen trees that has caught the creative imagination of Moose Jaw painter Ken Dalgarno.
These aspens don't stand straight and tall; rather, they are stooped and crooked, their trunks twisting and turning out.
"When you walk through the trees, there's a magical feel to them, like you're in an enchanted forest in a Grimm's fairy tale," said Dalgarno.
"The trees are haunting and exhilarating all at once."
Dalgarno has painted several of them on canvas, calling the series of paintings "The Crooked Trees of Alticane."
