On Tuesday I was able to follow the edge of a huge lee wave cloud for a few hundred km along the Alberta foothills down to the Kananaskis valley west of Calgary. It was the first time I have had a chance to watch a nice standing wave from the inside, with mountains for a backdrop to the east instead of prairie. November 25th and not enough snow for a snowball out there in chinook country. More.

OOooooooohhhhhh I am soooo very jealous!!! Jeff and I try to make it to Canada every year (Alberta) from Calgary up north into Jasper, last year we traveled through Kamloops area. What a beautiful place and your photos are AWESOME! I could live there, I could...I have never visited during the winter however, but I hear it is even magical at that time. Thanks for sharing your photos.
 
Great shots, beautiful landscape. I love the plains for it's tornadoes but if it weren't for those I'd be up against the mountains somewhere. My wife and I have been to Australia and California, but our favorite spot by far is Yellowstone. I've also been up to Glacier Park in Montana but my wife hasn't so hopefully I'll get to take her sometime. Great stuff though, I really want to go on vacation now!

Glacier and the adjacent Waterton (Canada) National Parks are the most beautiful places I have ever seen. If there were tornadoes there, I'd just set up a tent permanently.
