Great pics! I love the Banff area - it's a great area for outdoors fun.

The wife and I just booked a few nights in Jasper next month, for our honeymoon. We just love the drive from Jasper down to Banff (we both grew up in Edmonton).

Haven't been to Jasper yet unfortunately! Though I'm hoping to go there this summer! And I would love to see Lake Louise aswell! The pictures that are on the internet of that are are stunning!

Thanks for the comments!

HOWDY Sypheron

FIRST OF ALL, WELCOME TO THE TEAM. NICE TO HAVE YOU ABOARD.
THOSE ARE SOME GREAT PICS OF COWTOWN AND BANFF. I'VE SEEN MOST OF THOSE PLACES MYSELF.
NOW WHAT WOULD BE EVEN NICER IS TO SEE SOME PICS OF VENLO AND SOME OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY ON THIS TEAM ALONE THAT WOULD ENJOY A TASTE OF THE NETHERLANDS.

In Calgary, if you walk outside looking to electric wires for 15 minutes, chances you see at least one squirrel are about 98%!

It seems they had a fair amount of snow this year! What month were these pics shot?

That's on a 4 lane part though Zapp. Just outside of the SW (near Spruce Meadows). And yes it's KPH.
The pics were made between the 8th and 26th of Feb.

Prepare for more pics between the 30th of June and the 19th of July this summer! :D

just a suggestion- make a folder and drop your program short cuts in to it. This way your view isn't obstructed :)

Cool pics Sirius B
I was just up to Morraine Lake this last weekend. Its an hour drive from here.
Did the tourist thing with a lady that had never been out that way. Did Banff and Lake Louise and Morraine Lake.
I took a few shots but the sun was beaming in my face so they were crap.
Just so you know Morraine Lake is just off the road into Lake Louise about ten miles away. Personally I like Lake Louise better.
