Some Pics from Canada

[Grizzly]

Simon: Thanks for posting those beautiful pictures. Scary bears. Now, I suspect I know where you get your moniker, ... though that last one looks like a big "Black". Those peaks above Moraine Lake resemble the Maroon Bells in Colorado. They were probably formed by similar geological forces - upthrust followed by glacial carving, ... or something like that.

John

Thanks John, you are right abut the glacial erosion, plus these mountains are only a few million years old they haven't been worn down quite so much as yet.

Simon.... I glad you enjoyed the wonderful country that I am fortunate enough to call my home! As Canadians we are indeed privileged to live in a beautiful place.

Super pictures Simon! It always amazes me that those from abroad with such magnificent scenery of their own and on a much grander scale than here, still want to visit Scotland.

Jock...Perhaps it is so we can interact with "curmudgeons" such as you!
(Kidding of course). I think most countries have "natural" beauty, perhaps not as "grand" as others, but every country has a historical significance that is uniquely its own.

No worries Bill.

Actually , you are quit right, every country has something to offer the visitor, whether its the history, scenery, climate etc..

Super pics Simon, brings back fond memories of Vancouver and the Island. Unfortunately I have no plans to visit Canada again in the foreseeable future but I will hopefully catch up with you at Harpenden next month.

Beautiful photos, Simon! Thanks for sharing, mate. I've been up to BC several times and am amazed every time...it's so beautiful up there.

Best wishes,

Couldn't have said it better Bill.

Come on over folks. There's lots to see and do and we could use the tourist dollars. lol

Thank you Bill, our last view of the mountains was from Stony trail North and Deerfoot heading towards the airport. A majestic country and all the Canadians we met were so friendly.
