TripPix: Banff 2016 UPDATED 26 NOVEMBER

The service I have been using to host my online pictures has changed its interface: I cannot share all of my albums at once; they must be shared individually.  This is how I solve that (those numbers are YYMMDD dates):

TripPix: Andy & Serenity Cruise to Banff & Jasper, Alberta, Canada

• 160831 Kilby Park & Museum <https://goo.gl/photos/jiXaYDcCkjxCmBRy9> 

• 160904 Overland Falls <https://goo.gl/photos/dhqEU6CZ5HG7Ccjp8> Added 26 November.
• 160904 Rearguard Falls <https://goo.gl/photos/1AfoKMmtp7wQAz4j8> Added 26 November.

• 160919 Tunnel Mountain Village 1 camp @ sunset <https://goo.gl/photos/Ns6u69nxMYpm9frLA> 

One hears of these places, and sees their pictures in scenic calendars and coffee-table books, but the real thing--in binocular vision--is considerably better:  more unmistakably real--and much, much, bigger.  This was a wonderful trip.  Thanks, Andy.

A bit overcast & gray, but we saw beauty anyway.

We had long wished to see this area--northeast U.S. and southeast Canada, with emphasis on the maritime districts--and it had been our intention to remain out longer than we ended up accomplishing.  We blame the giant storm for our decision to abandon our plan in the middle.  (Of course it turned out to be less catastrophic than the worst possible prediction, but we had not wished to be either harmed or in the way; we left for home instead of risking those troubles.

We were there long enough to see many things of historical interest, and of both man-made and natural beauty.

The Canada pictures will be posted separately.
