October 6th

8pm: Glad to be on a plane westbound & back home after another difficult day. Here we are flying over Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota on a lovely evening.

September 23rd

8pm: On my way back from Calgary & golf again, the sun going down the cow's in their pasture somewhere between the Springbank Airport & Morley. Prime Alberta beef!

September 1st

9pm: The nights slowly draw in, but we get some magnificent sunsets. I just happened to look up from the TV this evening & spot the sun on the peaks - it was a rush to find the camera, but i got the shot in before the sun disappeared & the mountains became shadow once more.

July 6th

9pm: On my way home from soccer training, a lovely warm, mosquito free evening & a stunning sunset - without the polarizing filters on my camera it was hard to do it full justice.

March 3rd

6pm: Vancouver is so beautiful when the sun shines. This shot was taken looking down a side street off Broadway, the setting sun glinting on one of the innumerable glass & steel towers that abound in the city's core. The pathetic lack of snow on Grouse Mountain is obvious in the distance, how on earth they fought off such a warm winter to even stage the historic events on that mountain just 14 or so days prior to this picture, I do not know!

February 10th

5.45pm: The long drive from Edmonton to Canmore takes me through Olds, a small town about an hour's drive north of Calgary. Old's itself is pretty nondescript but I love the grain terminal just to the north of the town - it's pretty photogenic & here I stooped down onto the railroad tracks to get a different angle. I wanted to get a sunset picture but the sun had gone down & this barely represents what was a stunning sunset. I had also taken some really nice pictures using the orange lenses of my sunglasses as an ad-hoc filter, but it's strictly one a day on here..............

January 22nd

4pm: A colder, foggy day in the valley today- the thick mist taking an age to dissipate in the morning before rolling in again at dusk. I captured the golden glow of the setting sun on the northern side of the valley, the evocatively named Squaws Tit peak visible on the left. This was taken around 5pm as I was on my way for a couple of laps at the Nordic Centre, the wind chill around -15C.....
