"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
browse away. These are all of the DA 3D design submissions in order of latest sub date. My favorite artist is reeks, his renderings are beyond belief. Almost all fantasy related. This is my favorite so far. The Bridge Inn.
As for the photo. I'm not sure what kind of tree. I blew through a whole roll at the dog park when the autumn colours were out. I named the series Autumn Lights. I've got lots more.
There. Hopefully that'll make things easier on Macfive.
To show you what I mean by the reflections having a pinkish border. It's quite large, made to be addapted for a desktop wallpaper, so full view is necesary.
'39 Ford Tudor
If you would like a full size wallpaper, pm me. I also have it with the modern Blue Oval Ford emblem, or without.
Thanks a lot, desertrose. As Keltic said, Jasper is in the Alberta Rockies, about three hours west of Edmonton. It's very humbling out there. If you want to know just how small you are, just stand at the foot of one of those mountains. I'll post some more for you.
Angela and I went to Calgary, over to Canmore, to Banff, up to Lake Louise, then to Jasper for a vacation road trip two years ago. We camped in our tent everywhere we went, and it was one of the best times I've ever had. It was quite hard to go back to work after that.
Last September Angela's company sent everyone to the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge for the weekend. Very posh, and quite relaxing. It's like it's own town in there. The lodges base at $500 a night, so it's not something we could afford to do on our own, but would love to, of course.
This was the view from our lodge porch. Could you imagine waking up in the morning to that? Sipping coffee on the log porch watching squirels and listening to nothing but the birds.
Truth be told, and I get flack for this ALL the time, I've only caught one fish in my entire life. One piddly little lake trout.
Never got into it. Growing up with ADD, it's not easy to stand still for very long and stare at the rippling river without running into the woods or down the stream. But I do know quite a few people who are heavy into hauling fish out of the water. My brother, for instance. And if you're going to St. Mary's, you'll be able to find a guide easier than dropping a hat. There are a billion rivers and streams on that little peninsula, so there's lots of fishing to do whether you want a guide or not.
Here's a picture of the IceFields, between Lake Louise and Jasper. It was taken with a Kodak Fun Saver, so the quality's crap. Our Minolta was under the weather.
