The view from my bus window earlier today, just east of the Banff National Park boundary. Smoke from wildfires in British Columbia continues to hang over our region, bathing everything in a warm glow, all day long. The image is slightly cropped but otherwise not retouched.

Via Rail’s Canadian in Jasper National Park. The view is from one of the forward Skyline dome cars, looking back toward the back of the train. Snapped on my cross-Canada train trip back in April 2013.

Here are a few snapshots from a day trip to Lake Louise earlier this week.
As lonely as my photos make the place out to be, rest assured this popular tourist attraction is as busy as you’d expect for high season.

Another oldie … this one from May 2010 while on my way to Vancouver by car.
