Day 155 - Looking after 'Spirit' the Great Pyrenees

Lately we have been getting up super early to catch the sunrise as we are dog sitting at the moment and 'Spirit' the Great Pyrenees dog needs to go for a walk first thing in the morning. It's great because we have been getting some great sunrises.

Here are some shots Sandrine took the other day.

This is Sandrine walking 'Spirit'

It's about -20 at the moment and it's starting to get even colder, next week a top of -27, now thats crazy!!!

A few months back we have photo's of this river flowing free with green grass and crystal clear water, so weird how everything has changed around here.

The sun has come out finally.

Where ever we drive 'Spirit' hangs out the window, she loves it.

We decided to head over to the Norquay Ski field, we heard the view from the top is amazing...

Ski lift to the top.

This is all the tube riders ready to fly down the slopes.

Mt Rundle in all it's glory!!!!

(That tiny bump below it is Tunnel Mountain and those little square specs is the town of Banff)

Chilling at the top of Norquay.

The view was worth the trip for sure...

This is the 'Three Sisters' and the tiny roof tops is Canmore where we live.

Trying to find a place to walk 'Spirit', we were intending to walk here but a heard of over 50 deer kinda stopped that idea. 'Spirit' was a wild mountain dog and used to hunt for food so deer would drive her a little crazy.

Those tiny green dots to the bottom right are 20 to 30 metre tall trees. Give you a little perspective as to how insane this mountain slope is.

Hope you enjoyed the pics today, we have a bunch of HDRI's and PANORAMA's coming soon.

Day 150 - Beautiful Mountains around Canmore

We decided to walk around our neighbourhood and get some photos of this beautiful surrounding we will miss so much...

We took a drive up towards spray lakes.  The car we had rented didn't have very good tires, so it was very difficult to get up the mountain.  We decided to turn around and go back down but took these two photos first.

Back in Canmore, we went back to the park where we went to watch the fireworks for new years eve.  I knew it would have a nice view of Ha Ling peek, we could see it even at midnight.  Here it is during the day:

So this is what we have been calling our back yard for the past 5 months.... I can't believe we are going home already!  We are going to miss living in a small town, where everything is close and everyone is relaxed and most of all everywhere you look is just AMAZING!
