Waiting for sunset, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

On our recent week's trip down to Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park, we pulled off at a viewpoint and, as the time for the sun to set was approaching, we decided to stay there and witness sunset over the Grand Teton Range. While we were there, we noticed an Elk stag down in the valley in the far, far distance. There was also a photographer hiding in the bushes quite near to him. It was rather disturbing to see how stressed the stag was, taking a few steps in one direction, then turning around and looking back at the photographer, then pacing in the opposite direction, repeating continuously. Not sure that any photo is worth putting wildlife through that kind of stress.

Calgary:
"It's the dreaded "S" word for many Canadians, but parts of Alberta could be seeing SNOW this week. "A low pressure system that brought snow to the Yukon on Monday will continue to sink south into Alberta," says Brian Dillon, a meteorologist at The Weather Network. "Areas along the foothills will pick up around five centimetres of wet snow through Tuesday and by Wednesday, places like Calgary and Lethbridge may also see some scattered flurries mix in." As the low pressure system tracks over the Rockies, temperatures are set to dip as well. Most places continued to feel the summer-like conditions on Monday, but as the cold front slides through, temperatures across the Prairies will drop to the low single digits." While it may seem too early to see flurries in the forecast, Alberta is no stranger to fall snow storms. On average, Calgary usually sees around five centimetres of snow in September. The city typically picks up close to 10 cm in October as well." From The Weather Netowrk.
