The Incomparable Bow Valley
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.
Fall in The Foothills of Alberta
Near Tongue Creek Ranch west of Longview Alberta. The famous OH Ranchlands are just behind the hills.
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.
Fall Colour – Highwood Pass

The ground cover changes colour with the shift in seasons in late September at 2200 meters ASL. This photograph captures a section of the west wall of Highwood Pass, Alberta. |
The Big Skies of Alberta
One of my favourite places to spend time just hanging out and looking at the view. A view that really can’t been done justice in a photograph. Stormy day in the mountains… No problem, head over Highwood Pass out of the mountains toward sunny Longview, Alberta. Turn around and take a look back to the West. This spot is just a few minutes east of Highwood House overlooking the Tongue Creek Ranch.

Writing On Stone Provincial Park
Just back from a photo-oriented expedition to Writing On Stone Provincial Park in Southern Alberta with an overnight stay in Coleman, Alberta near the Frank Slide in The Crowsnest Pass. Travelled down Highway 22 from Black Diamond. The timing of the trip was chosen to catch the prairies and foothills when they are bathed in the bright greens of spring with snow-clad Rocky Mountains to the west. The trip did not disappoint providing a visual feast of classic Alberta landscapes with every kilometer travelled.
