Moraine Lake

I drove up to Lake Louise, and then to Moraine Lake.
I used to ski here with my parents and Aunt, Uncle and Cousins when I was a kid. I think the lodge and gift shop is new though, I think it's one of the most beautiful places in the world.

I saw a chipmunk posing for me.

I would love to rent a canoe and explore the lake...

The light was so 'warm', it was great to be out on such a perfect day.

Banff

I'm in Banff now, writing songs, bike riding, avoiding the grizzly bears. This is the view from Banff Central Park. I think that is the Bow River than runs through Banff, it's such a beautiful green.

My Boler Adventure



I decided to sell my loft in Toronto, along with most of my worldy possessions, buy a Boler, and travel across Canada writing an album.

This is what a Boler looks like. This was taken while camping in the Cypress Hills (Saskatchewan side). I stayed for a week.

I had no power but I used a 15 watt solar panel to recharge my batteries everyday (2 12 volt deep cycle batteries), so I could use my computer to record demos at night.
