Some cool rock formations paired with equally cool clouds just outside Kingman, Arizona, as seen through the window of an intercity bus back in December.

Norway

From my vacation in Norway back in August 2014: Some farms buildings located on very treacherous terrain spotted as I was making my way by ferry to Balestrand.

From a hike on Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park a few weeks. The hiking trail to the top of the mountain criss-crosses under the Banff Gondola’s cables.

Switchback

Banff, Alberta, Canada

One of the many, many switchbacks on the way to the top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park. The path links the upper hot springs to the top of the gondola — an elevation change of 655 metres. It takes two hours (theoretically) to complete a one-way trip.

Banff, Alberta, Canada

Visitors who hike Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park are warned to stay on the designated pathway to protect plants and wildlife in the area. Clearly, over the years, some people have not heeded the directive.

Banff, Alberta, Canada

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.
