I took this while there over christmas. Was some strange light.

That's nice! Too bad that powerline got in the way. That's the closes I've seen the skyline and mountains together.

^ Agreed

Nice pic. Taken from Calgary International?

Wow the mountains look huge in that picture!

You can thank pollution due to an inversion for the "strange light." Nice photo though. I am surprised with the lack of snow along the spine of the Rockies there considering how much more snow there is farther south in CO.

Yeah Shame about that powerline. Oh Well.

The location of the picture is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/burbaget/334774729/ (just click the 'Taken in Balzac, Alberta (map)") bit. Was just outside of town.

Yeah the smog was bad that day, and the lack of snow this year is odd. Global Warming and smog captured in the same picture :-)

Why do the mountains always look closer from the NE? Nice shot, I think I parked in that field when I flew home at Christmas (overflow parking at the airport sucks!)
