I'm originally from Globe myself, graduated from the UofA, and can never get enough of the beauty of my native state. People who call themselves newbies seem to believe that the criteria for good photography have something to do with days behind the viewfinder. However, in my opinion the days with open eyes are much more indicative of promise in this field. Yours have a unique and artistic vision, so don't apologize for whatever technical skills you feel you lack. The last two are my favorites in the set.
