Thanks to Ken for these shots. Taken with a digital camera that can "stitch" the sections of a panorama together. Highway 3a Kootenay Lake crossing, looking East and South from the ferry terminal on the Columbia River. |
The view from Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump in southern Alberta. The jump is actually just to the left of the picture, and is about 12 metres high. This is a World Heritage Site, and the suspicion is that natives had kept it in use to hunt Buffalo for over 4000 years, until the coming of the Europeans in the 16-, 17- and 1800s. |
Heritage Village Park in Calgary. Many of these buildings were relocated from all over Alberta and painstaking re-assembled on this site. I'm not sure of the authenticity of the ice cream shop at the far right though. |
