Alberta bales roll 5 miles

Here are some photos making the email rounds. I got them from my father-in-law, who got them from a friend in Southern Ontario. These guys aren't even involved in farming, but anyone would find these amazing.

The intro to the email says: "Near  Medicine Hat after a windstorm last week. The bales weigh 1,600 pounds and some rolled 5 miles."

Do you know if these are legit? Do you know who took them? They're spectacular, but as my father-in-law's friend says, a person can do anything with Photoshop these days. Comment above or email me if you have any details to add.
