Great Lake Swimmers

I finally got to see Great Lake Swimmers, one of my favourite bands, on Thursday night in Calgary. They did not disappoint. The venue, a presbyterian church with great accoustics, only added to the experience. A memorable evening for me.


To get an idea of the type of music they perform, check out these.

Mountain Home

Just to give some context of the surroundings around our home, I snapped pictures out my windows on a cold February Morning.


Looking out the porch window to the NW, you can see the local icon, Crowsnest Mountain, mired in blowing snow.



Looking straight East out the living room window, the sun comes up in the pass.



Looking out the bathroom window to the SW, you can see the Pass Powderkeg ski hill.



Looking straight North out the kitchen window is Bluff Mountain, where the mountain goats hang out.


Looking SE out the TV room window is the backside of Turtle Mountain.
