We out here.
I was lucky enough to have been spoiled for my birthday today.
I write this from the cozy confines of a quaint and simple A-frame cabin, nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains in British Columbia.
I have pressed my first cup of coffee, put on my wool socks and underwear, and listening to some Jimmy Eat World. I would have it no other way.
We had a bit of a trial making it here. Everything was going perfectly. By perfectly, I mean: perfect driving conditions, a beautiful day, nothing to complain about.
In Strathmore, just outside of Calgary, Alberta, we started overheating.
An hour or so later, it was determined that there were air bubbles in the coolant system, causing it to overflow, leaving very little in the system.
After a top up and a call to my insurance, we were back on the road. Wait. That's a lie. We stopped for the first time since July, at McDonald's.
After the greasy mess we shovelled down, and making it into Calgary, I managed to sneak this shot.
A distant view of the mountains past Calgary from shotgun, through the dirty windshield.
I removed some small specks and bits of light in the silhouette of the mountain and I only had to remove one light post that was right in the middle of the frame.
I figure since we had a bit of a delay, this sunset more than made up for it. I could sit here and type up all of the wonderful things I felt during this short sunset but it's not long before sun up here and I need to go see what else I can find.
