Thanks it was taken from the new building at the top of the Banff Gondola on Sulphur mountain.
I agree about the town once you've seen it there's not much reason to go back. But there is so much more to the park.

The new terminal for the Banff Gondola taken from Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station National Historic Site. The numerous peaks of Mount Rundle on the left.

Walking back from the local shop this morning. My new roof looks so nice in the sun.

Looks lovely. I love quirky round windows, my parents bedroom had one, Google maps shows me the last owner removed it for some stupid reason.

Assuming it's the green one I installed the same on a house I previously had. I drive by now and then and see that it's still lovely 15 years later. Great value compared with shingles and it stays on when the wind blows.

There's one above the front door too. Hexagonal, but almost round.

Until I got the estimates I was expecting it to be double the price of the shingles. Turned out it was only $1500 more. No wonder they're springing up everywhere.

It most certainly does. Love the colour.

I'm with Pen , the quirky windows + the shutters set it all off.

Cheers mate. If I hadn't been as steaming as I was I would have probably taken a better shot. It was with my phone. I've yet to check the CF card from my camera as my card reader is pwpped. The missus had it put on to a metal backing and blown up. It came out quite good.

Oink reeling in a mighty BC Chinook salmon, yesterday.

Better watch out, someone might accuse you of taking killer whale food.... (on my facebook there was a heated argument over chinook salmon fishing and people accusing others of stealing and starving killer whales.)

Looks like a nice day on the water....

I just abide by the fishing regulations. It was such a beautiful afternoon.

It looks an amazing day...nice to see a shot of Oink! What is the thing to the right of the photo that looks vaguely like a hairdryer? It’s Orange and black?

Looks like a water hose gun for the deck wash. i.e. washing the blood and scales off the deck after Oink has reeled in the salmon and bashed it over the head.
