Back from short vacation.
« on: June 27, 2016, 01:48:01 AM »
I'm not sure if anyone is interested in these, but got back from my vacation and have some pics. Went to Rocky Mountain House to visit my Daughter and Son in Law and then went into the Foothills to Lake Abraham and worked back through Crescent Falls and Fishing lake to home base. Next 2 days went east to the badlands and visited Drumheller and went to the Royal Tyrell Museum to look t dinosaurs and then around to see some hoodoos before we went south to Iron Horse Mall and took in Bass Pro just north of Calgary and then back to RMH. Then home. I'll post a part 2 if there is interest. First time using just my Nikon D5500 camera with an 18-55 and 55-200mm lens.







































Wish I could have been on a helicopter to get a pic pf Crescent Falls like this one or at least found where the over look was.
