Empty Glasshouses


These are the old glasshouses at the University of Calgary. The day after I took this picture Calgary was hit by a huge hailstorm with golfball sized hail and all the glass in these and the new glasshouses was smashed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage in about three minutes. There's a video on You-tube.

Horses


Just outside Calgary I found this group of horses enjoying the cool breeze blowing off the Rockies on a hot, hot day.

Pika Pik


It's not easy to get shots of these little creatures but this partikular pika was most obliging.

The view from our campsite


Backcountry camping...this was our kitchen and cooking area this weekend. Breathtaking!
