Geraldine Lakes Hike

This shot is from the beginning of the Geraldine Lakes hike. The drive up from Highway 93A (Jasper National Park) is a bit hard on the minivan, but worth it once in a while (Nikon FE2, Nikkor 50mm f1.8).

Cab of Old Bus

Here's a relatively lucky shot of the inside of the cab of an old bus located at Fort Edmonton Park. It is really more of a glorified pickup truck (Olympus OM2, Zuiko 50mm f2.8).

Edmonton's Illustrious Mayor

Contemplating future pathetic attempts to "gobble" the 2009 tax hike down to size? (Nikon FE2, Nikkor 50mm f1.8).

Revelstoke Dam

A view of the Revelstoke Dam. British Columbia has a single fossil fuel power station in the lower mainland. The rest of its power is generated by hydroelectric projects such as the one depicted here. We all know, of course, that electricity generation from renewable energy sources is economically untenable, a threat to our way of life, and specifically fobidden in some of the more obscure passages of the Bible. Then why does BC has some of the cheapest electricity rates on the continent. Is it massive subsidies, or is there something that the agro-industrial complex is not telling us?

Waterfall on the way from Revelstoke to the Arrow Lake Ferry

We stopped on the way to the Arrow Lake Ferry at this really impressive Provincial Park on Arrow Lake. Well maintained, with a swimming lake, plus this interesting waterfall (Nikon FE2, Nikkor 50mm f1.8).
