Andrew, Me and Carey Biking
This is near Lake Louise. The trail was mostly fire-road, with some really
rooty, wooded areas.

Andrew and Carey Dismounting from a Chairlift
This scene shows Andrew and Carey at their best. They've just left
the chair in this photo. Andrew is cutting sharply to the left.
He has to put has hand down to maintain balance (hey, even the pros have
to do that, especially when you're at the bleeding edge of performance).
Carey is accelerating rapidly: he must lean forward to counteract the
air-drag at that high velocity. He's doing his trademark move, whereby he
removes his rear foot from the binding to allow him more flexibility, and
therefore greater potential for radical hot-dogging.
The parent in the background is shielding his childs eyes from this
scene. He knows that if the kid sees this amazing display, he would
grow up with only one desire: to be a "thrasher dude".

Our Campsite at Yoho
This was a lovely scenic area, with a rushing river right
by our tent. It made for a very relaxing night of sleep. Until 6 in the morning,
when a gaggle of crows congregated on the adjacent trees.
YA KNOW, the national parks of Canada would be a whole lot better if
the government simply exterminated the species that were inconvenient to
tourists.

Andrew Before the Hoodoos
The hoodoos are boulders that were deposited on a gravelly aggregate, eons
ago, and the rainfall over the centuries eroded the material around the boulders,
leaving them sitting on columns.

Groovy Cloud Formation
Taken in Winnipeg from my balcony.
This picture hasn't been enhanced in any way. The light from sunset was hitting
the bottom of a cloud cover, and the reflected light was casting a really
red glow on the environment (which, sadly, isn't apparent in this picture).
