Sheryl Crow says it best and I took her advice and Soaked up the Sun on the last day of summer. Was a beautiful morning under the Rocky Mountains.
Been a long time since our skies have shown the beauty of an aurora - maybe she will show tonight. Fingers crossed. Taken from my deck last Fall 2024.
Wild Grizzly takes a moment to look up as it moved through the forest in Jasper. Taken from the safety of my vehicle.
Le Canadien, CANADÀ 2024
Alberta is one of Canada's ten provinces, located in the west of the country and one of the three Prairie Provinces. It borders British Columbia to the west and is one of the only provinces (along with Saskatchewan) without coastline access.
Geography: The province is renowned for its contrasting landscapes. To the west are the spectacular Canadian Rocky Mountains (featuring world-famous national parks like Banff and Jasper), while the rest of the province is dominated by prairie, forests, and taiga.
Economy: Alberta boasts one of Canada's strongest economies, driven primarily by its vast oil and natural gas resources, including the Athabasca oil sands. It also has significant agriculture and ranching industries.
Key Cities: The two largest and most important cities are Calgary (the financial and energy hub, famous for its annual Stampede) and Edmonton (the provincial capital).
Le Canadien, CANADÀ 2024
The Canadian (Le Canadien) is the flagship transcontinental passenger rail service operated by VIA Rail Canada, the country's national railway company.
Iconic Route: This train is famous for its long, scenic journey, connecting major cities in Eastern and Western Canada. The classic route runs from Toronto to Vancouver (or vice-versa).
Duration and Distance: The full trip covers approximately 4,466 km (2,775 miles) and takes about four days and four nights, traversing five provinces and three time zones.
Scenery: The journey is renowned for its stunning and varied landscapes. It crosses the rugged forests of Northern Ontario, the vast expanse of the Prairies in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and culminates in the spectacular majesty of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta and British Columbia.
Onboard Experience: The service is notable for offering a comfortable, full-service rail cruise experience. It includes sleeping cars of various classes (such as Prestige and Sleeper Plus), panoramic lounge cars (Skyline and Park Car), and dining cars where meals are prepared and served onboard.
Shortly after the first sunlight a stream of low hanging mist, fog and clouds covered the base of the mountain at the lake, making it a little enticing to stay a bit longer. One lone seagull decided it needed to be in the photo (was tempted to edit it out but decided to leave it there-guess it was enjoying the morning as I was). Taken in Canmore, Alberta - September 2024.

Spectacular coulees and hoodoos sculpted by erosion dominate the landscape in Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park, Alberta. These unusual landforms resulted from the dynamic interaction of geology, climate and time. Copyright © Kim Toews/All Rights Reserved.
A stunning sunrise after a hike through clouds and fog. We were slightly worried that we would just be socked in and not get any color or views. Luckily we pushed on!
No, I tripped while I was doing long exposure and bumped the tripod. Apologies in advance for how this makes your eyes feel. Sometimes we have the best intentions and the right set up but poor execution (and balance).
