Trick or treating at the Mall

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.

Movie Time

Went to see a movie at one of Calgary's older movie theatres - The Plaza in Kensington.

'Those blue remembered hills'

A view of the distant Rockies taken from the Leighton Art Centre just outside the city.

Yamnuska Shadows

Went hiking this weekend. Took these shots of our shadows looking out over the Bow Valley.

Pika Pik

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

Cleaning Windows in the Rocky Mountains

The view from our campsite

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

Winter in July?

Went hiking this weekend..just three hours and a couple of thousand feet out of the city is scenery like this.
