Brigadoon

I have no idea where this is, other than I took it from a moving train somewhere between Vancouver and Jasper in Canada. Something about the fog and the early morning light almost reminds me of the 1954 musical Brigadoon. Maybe this place doesn’t even exist, but for a minute of time I was able to capture it from a moving train. Ah, such are my thoughts when I’ve nothing better to do. In any case, maybe in my next life I’ll live somewhere like this.

JPL Dusk

In the town of Jasper everyone refers to the Jasper Park Lodge as JPL. JPL is a lodge with cabins about 10 minutes from town such that it’s rather tranquil during the summer rush. I took this at dusk from one of the many platforms around the lake. A perfect setting for watching the sun go down and listening to the call of the Loons which, if you haven’t yet heard, is a real treat.

Bow River

This is the Bow River in Banff, Alberta. It runs along the edge of town as it meanders among surrounding peaks. When I first arrived I didn’t know which way the sun set, in fact it was in the opposite direction. By the time I figured it out I was under attack by the mosquitoes which multiplied in recent rains so I quickly snapped this and headed for cover.

Athabasca Falls

Large amounts of water pass through The Athabasca Falls in Jasper Nation Park. Here the beauty of nature can be experienced on several platforms that immerse you in the sights and sounds that are not soon forgotten. The water comes from the Athabasca Glacier and empties into the Athabasca River which is a favorite of white water rafters.

English Bay Picnic

Along English Bay in Vancouver are beaches and public parks where people congregate all day and well into the evening. On this evening I noticed a small group of people having a picnic as they watched the sunset. Not far off was a Great Heron taking a break from fishing. I suspect he might also have been waiting to see if any scraps were left from the picnic. From what I could tell he’d have to wait as the picnic seemed to be just getting started.

Happy Bull

I recently visited Jasper National Park in the Canadian rockies and while there saw a lot of wildlife including Elk which seem to be fairly mellow in July. In any case, this bull was on the side of the road enjoying a meal of leaves when we happened by. He has irregular antlers which indicate a past injury or incident with his rack. Aside from that, he seem quite content to watch the silly human take pictures of him as he enjoyed the warm July evening. Yes, I was inside a vehicle. 😉
