| The Last Photo. It was a beautiful day, and I'm sure we all could have gone on shooting for many days yet, but it was time to head back to the lodge for a final wrap-up, to look at some of each other's photos, and to say goodbye. I left with a bunch of scribbled notes on how to improve my pictures, a Christmas list of camera stuff, a great satisfaction in having been able to join other photographers doing what we love, and a feeling that a glimpse into this magnificent country was not enough... and that I'd have to come back someday. |

| Then, I have to thank my 'HMS' Rose shipmate Barb for putting up with me for another three weeks, and her and her husband Richard for a lot of driving and a very, umm, interesting tour of backroads Alberta. Maybe the reason Alberta drivers are so bad is that they're all lost....? These pictures were taken after the workshop. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Wedge Pond, a spot recommended by Darwin. I can see why. We weren't really there at the right time of day, but what sunset light there was, was lovely. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kananaskis Country. Left: Mount Lorette Ponds. Right: I didn't find out the name of this river, but it was near an observation point where researchers count migrating golden eagles. An interesting stop. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I spent a day exploring Banff. Of course the weather was crummy: it rained and snowed all the way there and back. But, you have to make the best of the conditions you get.... These are at Vermilion Lakes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Bow River, just above the falls. Another 10-minute stop for the bus tourists. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cave and Basin, in Banff: the site of what became Canada's first national park. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
