THE THREE SISTERS - CANMORE, ALBERTA, CANADA

@Victor: Thank you for visiting - it is beautiful country!

@Jen: Thank you for visiting Jen. Incredible views every which way you turn out there. That's one thing I miss -being able to take a day out into the rockies since I moved to the coast. We have coastal mountains here - but apart from Whistler (where the 2010 Winder Olympic Ski events will be held) and another ski resort - there are not so many mountain roads you can drive up to see the lakes and glaciers, etc. way up high.

@Bronnie: Thanks for visiting! You gonna get to Canada or the Alps? I've never seen Europe either! So many beautiful cities there - that is my dream vacation! But as far as mountains go - here will do - so many, many, many more square miles of them - seems like they go on forever. But, if I had immigrated anywhere except Canada it would have been New Zealand - so many,many beautiful places I have seen on TV, Magazines, etc.

@objectif-plume: Thank you for your visit and comment!

@jennifer radio: Thanks for your visit - the original wasn't grainy - it was on fine grain film. However, these mountain shots I've been posting are very low resolution images - they have been pp'd in various photo programs - I lost all the originals when my other computer finally died. Found these smaller images on a CD - but think I should stop posting them now until I can get my photos re-scanned looking more like they should. I'm glad you liked this one anyway.

@Vahid: Sorry to be so late getting back to you! No! this is not typical of Canadian landscape!! This is the "Gateway" to the Rockies which are about 300 miles deep from East to West. The Trans Canada Highway runs for 5000 miles across 10 provinces. The scenery varies all the way. We have big cosmopolitan cities - such as Vancouver where I live, and each Province has its Provincial Capital City. These cities have sky-scrapers - parks, such as the one I have been posting recently, people from all over the world, art galleries, museums, etc. It would take a book to describe all the variations in Canada. Maybe you should do a Google search on the image tab - and look at some photos across Canada. I have never been very far East - only to Regina, Saskatchewan province by road. That is the only drive which gets a little monotonous in Canada - through the prairie in Saskatchewan - because it is flat with mile upon mile of prairie which grows wheat and other crops. The main population is concentrated in the Southern part of the Provinces. Out East, in Quebec province, I am told that Quebec City is very European in architecture and very beatiful.
