The Incomparable Bow Valley

The Bow River near Canmore Alberta

The Bow River near Canmore Alberta

My home for 40 years.  A place that even on cloudy and stormy days offers an incredible visual display. I never tire of looking at these peaks and wild spaces. They’re a constant inspiration and reminder of how fortunate I am to have been able to live, work and play surrounded by such intensely beautiful landscapes.

This picture/post was made quickly and easily by using Windows Live Writer – a piece of free desktop software that is far superior to most blog-resident editors. Live Writer is markedly better for positioning inserts like photographs, videos etc. It will generate nice clean XHTML markup. With Live Writer installed on my laptop, creating and publishing posts that include media is a snap.
