There was just one kayak on the lake when friends and I spent a bit of time at Bow Lake. I love it when this happens, as it gives a better idea of just what a massive slab of rock they are passing.
Three days ago, on 23 June 2018, I had the wonderful chance to return to two of my favourite places in the mountains - Bow Lake and Peyto Lake. This was thanks to the annual Bus Trip for Nature Calgary, with each year being to a different location in Alberta. These two Lakes are too far for me to drive (roughly two and a half hours), but mainly because they are way out of my driving comfort zone. I think I have only ever been to Peyto Lake twice before, the first time being something like 38 years ago, and the second time being in August 2013. Almost 40 years ago, I fell in love with Bow Lake, my absolute favourite place. I have been lucky enough to visit it a handful of times in recent years.
Unfortunately, we couldn't capture the beautiful, really deep turquoise colour that Peyto lake is so well known for. Too many low clouds and an overcast, damp day, but you can still see the beauty of this lake and its gorgeous surroundings. The forecast that I had seen for this whole area had been for snow-rain showers, with a high temperature of 12C and a low of 1C. Though the day started off with rain, we were lucky that we only had a few raindrops while we were out walking. It was really dreary weather, though, which was not good as far as photography was concerned.
Our first stop was at Peyto Lake, where we walked the short distance to the wooden Lookout deck. From there, we hiked a loop through the forest, finding a few wildflowers and some beautiful Orange Peel Fungus. On the way back to the Lookout, you really need to be very careful to take a path that leads back to the correct parking lot! The last few people took the wrong path and ended up waiting for a bus that never came for them. So easily done. They were eventually found, but after a long delay.
"Peyto Lake (pea-toe) is a glacier-fed lake located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake itself is easily accessed from the Icefields Parkway. It was named for Ebenezer William Peyto, an early trail guide and trapper in the Banff area. The lake is formed in a valley of the Waputik Range, between Caldron Peak, Peyto Peak and Mount Jimmy Simpson, at an elevation of 1,860 m (6,100 ft). During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake, and these suspended rock particles give the lake a bright, turquoise color. Because of its bright color, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books, and area around the lake is a popular sightseeing spot for tourists in the park. The lake is best seen from Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefield Parkway. The lake is fed by the Peyto Creek, which drains water from the Caldron Lake and Peyto Glacier (part of the Wapta Icefield), and flows into the Mistaya River."

From Peyto Lake, we drove to the nearby Bow Lake, which just takes my breath away. I had told a couple of friends how beautiful it is, but that the best kind of day to visit is a sunny day with absolutely calm lake water so that reflections are seen. Well, that was definitely not the kind of day we had, but one makes the best of what one gets. We spent time there, walking part way along the edge of the lake, looking for any bird and wildflower species, and simply soaking up the amazing beauty of our surroundings.

On the way back to Calgary, we were very lucky to notice a handful of cars that had pulled over on the side of the road. This always makes one wonder if a bear has been sighted. Sure enough, our bus driver slowed down and stopped for a short while to allow us to take a few photos. After a few minutes, I heard our organizer tell someone (or more than one person) to stop using flash, as it was stressing out the bear. Tell me, just WHY would anyone think it was OK to use flash on a wild animal that was just a few feet away from our bus!!! An animal that was busy feeding on dandelions and had been taking no notice of us. A photo I posted yesterday shows a moment that the bear raised its head and stared in that photographer's direction. So maddening when photographers don't have respect for wildlife and just don't think! I happened to be sitting on the 'wrong' side of the bus and had two or three rows of people who were sitting or standing up, all trying to get their shots in between the people in front of them. So, my photos are not good, but serve as a record of having had the privilege of seeing such a beautiful creature.
A final, short stop on the way home was near Castle Mountain, which is a very impressive sight. It also has an interesting history, which I will add when I eventually post a photo taken there.
Many thanks, Penny, for organizing our trip to such perfect places! I know a huge amount of work goes into making all the plans - thanks, too, to John for helping out with this. A very successful and most enjoyable outing. Shirley and Pam - I greatly appreciated your driving to meeting places here in the city!
Hello, this month has been difficult and in my work it has been noticed because instead of affectionate penises I have made the decision to cut them into very small pieces, that they go preparing for Halloween, that I have discovered many ideas full of blood

So today I chose to wear stockings to keep my legs warm and a jacket, when it warms up later I will take it off :)
Bit of fun with a recent template from my monthly mag

Over the last few days we have had a bit of rain not a great deal just a constant drizzle.
This morning however it brightened up and so I decided to walk to my parents. By god was it cold or what my poor pinkies turned blue with cold. As i walked the road to my parent i crossed the bridge over the river. now our river is more a wide stream normally (just as Cindy she will tell you) and only about three foot deep at its deepest.. today it was 10 or 15 foot deep and flowing fast and had burst its banks. I could still pass though that was until I got further up the road where it had flooded again . this time only about 6 inches but to deep to walk through in my shoes while cars passed by and so i waited until my moment the cars had gone the water level settle to a about half inch on the path and i made a run for it and got to the other side just as a car shot though the water missing me by about three foot. I knew I should have driven
A detail of San Marco from my quick walk through #Venice in November last year (which already feels like 50 years ago).
As the sun rose over glacial peaks near Jokulsarlon lagoon, I groggily grabbed my gear and crossed the black sand and a narrow bridge to arrive on the ice-strewn shore. As brilliant orange-red light struck the countless chunks of glacier, I knew that I would never again see something so uniquely beautiful.
This is the first of several photos I will be posting from my trip to Iceland back in May; these and many more are available in print as part of my project "Eilifur: Eternal Iceland"!

A bit of change from the HDR stuff for Friday...Oxford Street offices.
Straight out of the camera, in this case from scanned slide film. Analog joy! Nikon F100/Fuji Velvia 100.
Have a great weekend my Flickr friends, happy snapping!
I was doing quite a bit of letter writing yesterday, so I thought I'd provide some writing samples. This is my newly rejuvenated Parker 75, fine point. This is my first FP, and also my most abused. But now that I've got it working quite well, it's back into the everyday rotation.
The ink is a blend of Montblanc blue/black and Montblanc black and Quink black, done to darken the ink for hospital charts.

Seri sonu
aşk nasıl biterse öyle bitti bu aşk da
Uzun bir hastalık gibi
Aralıksız dinlediğim alaturka bir fasıl gibi
Gökyüzüne bakmayı, dostlara mektup yazmayı
Çiçekleri sulamayı unutmuşluğum gibi
Bitti.
Bir aşk nasıl biterse öyle bitti bu aşk da
Yürümeyi yeniden öğrenen felçli bir çocuk gibi
Sokağa çıkmalıyım şimdi ve çoktandır
İhmal ettiğim dostlara yeni bir adres bırakmalıyım
Pencereleri açmalı, kitapları düzenlemeliyim
Belki bir yaÄŸmur yaÄŸar akÅŸama doÄŸru
Yarıda bıraktığım şiirleri tamamlarım
AÅŸk da bitti diyordu ya bir ÅŸair
Aşk bitti işte tam da öyle

With a bit of clag, GBRF 66736 powers over the level crossing at St Germains with 6S45. This is on Saturday 27th May 2017 in a brief spell of sunshine at 1251. 66736 is working the Blyth - Fort William loaded Alumina train ( Alcans )
I've been a bit uninspired lately, seeing the same scenery on the coast. Needing a fresh injection of inspiration I decided to take a walk with my camera and no preconceived images in my mind. I arrived at Ardrossan Harbour and It was only then I realised, the scenery is forever changing and there are always scenes to shoot. You just got to look for them and be in the right place at the right time and appreciate the beauty of whats around you!

Out with my dad today, stopped for some food while driving up the Clyde Valley. I noticed their disabled parking bays were painted in straight lines on the bricks rather than the usual circular wheelchair and user symbol, and to my eyes it looked like a piece of old 8-Bit graphics, which made me smile (I had to explain to dad what 8-Bit was).
