Fall interlude

Here is another taste of Calgary autumn, in between my rants on life as a female postdoctoral fellow. I hope you like the pics.

Autumn 2008

It turns out I have taken quite a few pictures of autumn landscapes over the last 4 years. So I decided to dig some of the pics out of my photo library. In 2006 we moved back to Canada after living for a few years in the States (Philadelphia, PA). First we moved to Ottawa for a period of two years and then moved back out West.

View from our old apartment, trees along the Bow river, Calgary, autumn 2008, can you see the tiny and only tree with red foliage?

Autumn in Alberta

Autumn is my favourite time of the year. Everything looks different in the autumn light, every line, shape and colour seem accentuated. During my strolls with James I have been able to take a few pics of nature in our city. A stricking feature of Alberta is its bright blue sky which becomes even bluer in fall. In Calgary the weather can change on you very fast. One minute it is sunny, the next it snows. My pictures are taken using a simple point-and-shoot SD400 Canon and I am by no means an accomplished photographer. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the pics.
