Scene from a moving car

Highway 3 near Summit Lake (British Columbia, Canada)

The drive from Fernie to Calgary has some nice scenery.

Today’s photo comes from the most wildflower day of my 56 years of existence. We hiked almost 10 miles and had wildflowers for most of them. Sometimes there were so many wildflowers my brain felt like it would explode. So many different ones too. We saw at least a dozen different varieties of wildflowers amongst the thousands (millions?) of total wildflowers.

I didn’t realize this at the time, but our hiking started in Alberta, crossed into British Columbia for three or four miles, and then ended up back in Alberta.

Looking down from Saint Mary’s Basilica

Saint Mary’s Basilica Krakow Poland fountain

Rynek Underground

Today’s photo comes from the Bugle Tower of St. Mary’s Basilica in Krakow, Poland. The tower is currently closed for renovations, but it was open during Covid when I took this in 2021. The object in this photo is a fountain in Krakow’s main square that was built in 2010. If you look very closely you can see that it was operating. The water doesn’t run down the glass pyramid in the center. Sometimes the pyramid is completely covered in pigeons. The glass pyramid is the roof of a museum called the Rynek Underground. I didn’t visit the museum, but I don’t remember why I didn’t. Perhaps it wasn’t open because of Covid when I was in Krakow.
