Returned to Banff National Park on Friday to hike up Cascade Mountain with a friend. Afterwards, we took over a couple of Muskoka chairs on the shore of Lake Minnewanka for a quick, late lunch — with a nice view on the side.

Here are a few more snaps from a visit around the town of Banff last weekend.
Looking east(ish), above, through the trees at the top of Tunnel Mountain. Below, from top to bottom, Cascade Mountain looms over Banff Avenue, seen from bridge over the Bow River; looking west(ish) along the Bow River and the Canadian Pacific rail line, from top of Tunnel Mountain; and two images from the Marsh Loop trail.

Snapped this scene through the window of a bus back in December, while I was making may way from Phoenix to Las Vegas.
(On a technical note: I wonder if the speed of our vehicle created some kind of rolling shutter artifact in this picture, as I’m not certain the sign in the foreground was quite so slanted in real life.)

I hadn’t set foot in Alberta’s badlands for a few years, so it was nice to drop in for a day trip yesterday. This was snapped during a hike in Dinosaur Provincial Park, just north of Bassano, Alberta.

Looking over at some farmland in the hills in the village of Rottingdean, just east of Brighton, England.

Roadwork this past weekend caused me to be stationary as I was driving around Alberta’s countryside. If you’re going to get stuck in traffic jam, it might as well somewhere with rewarding scenery like this.

Another shot from my visit to Arizona this winter: Peering through some of the greenery at Hermit’s Rest along the Grand Canyon’s south rim.

This is the view from one of the many breathtaking viewpoints along Hermit Road in Grand Canyon National Park, at Grand Canyon Village, Arizona. Our party had been dodging clouds on and off, all afternoon, a couple of Fridays ago and it was fortunate they had moved along far enough by day’s end to allow for some decent photography.
