Drive Carefully

When travelling through the Canadian Rockies in the winter, these sign give you a heads up on what to expect.  While the pictures are incredibly beautiful when there has been a new snow fall, the road can be difficult to maneuver.  So if you happen to be heading from Banff to Jasper and the road condition sign indicates poor driving conditions, slow down and drive carefully  and take lots of pictures!

Canadian contribution to the culinary world...

I don't know of any other donut shop which has influenced a country's psychy like Tim Hortons (timmy's). It has changed the language by spawning the term "double double" to go along with "eh".  It is also the main source of warmth for many hockey parents while at the same time rolling up their rims to see what they have won.  

So next time you bump into a Canadian and want to start up a conversation, ask them about timmy's.

Winter Birdfeeder

It is very uncomfortable to be outside when it is minus forty.  As uncomfortable as it can be to be outside for short periods of time, the animials live in these conditions ever winter.   During winter, we keep this birdfeeder full so that birds have a chance.

Butt Out!

Alberta is slowly becoming a non-smoking province.

This movement has generated this new piece of furniture. They are found in front of most public building and provide a place to discard your butts. But as you can see from the ground, not eveyone hits the mark.

Posters

Walking along Jasper Avenue and you come across these modern shelters/bus stands. Each of these stands, has spot for advertisements including posters advertised operas, plays, musicals and underground shows.

Subway Lighting

The provincial capital is known for its culture as well as it shopping, but very few people comment on its subway. This is a light at one of its underground stations.

Mount Edith Cavell

This is one of my favorite times of year.

There is always something fresh about snow everywhere.
