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.

Moon Over Edith Cavell
On a recent trip to Jasper in Alberta Canada we were surrounded by the Canadian rockies at every turn. I took this one evening as the moon was rising above Mt. Edith Cavell. This picture doesn’t do justice to the size of the peak. The turquoise water is created by the runoff of the many glaciers in the area, sediment known as rock flour creates a blue-green look in the lakes.

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. 😉

Underside
This is the Lionsgate Bridge which links Vancouver with North Vancouver. The bridge is quite high to allow cargo and cruise ships access to Vancouver Harbor. The Stanley Park seawall and bike path pass under at this location. I can’t help but be impressed with the massive display of engineering and steel, especially when standing here. As I write this post from my Vancouver hotel room late in the evening, I can look over my right shoulder and see this bridge lit up against the North Vancouver mountains.

False Creek
All of Vancouver is amazing, but especially the False Creek section. When I shot this the area was full of photographers and wedding parties. Kind of reminds me of Pelicans back home in Florida. Where there’s Pelicans, there’s fish, you can always tell. In Vancouver, where there’s photographers there’s really cool stuff to see. Okay, I know that’s a really lame analogy, but it’s true.

St. Pauls
This is St. Pauls hospital located along Burrard Street in Vancouver. I was intrigued by the old architecture with all the bricks in what is essentially a state of the art facility.

Five Minute Break
I noticed this hotel worker while walking past the Sheraton in Vancouver. Despite being smack dab in the middle of a busy city he managed to find a quite place for a quick break. I don’t know why I was attracted to the scene but I think we all need to find that quite place from time to time, if even just for five minutes.

Lost Lagoon 4
The reason I call this “4” is because I’ve taken three other shots from this same location. I try not to repeat myself, but on occasion I can’t help it. I took this night before last when walking back to my hotel through Stanley Park in Vancouver. The path was pretty much deserted, and I found out why after I setup, lots of mosquitos. In any case, this is a typical evening glow that residents of this city enjoy. No wonder everyone is so mellow here.
