Water World
It was bound to happen. After a record breaking snowfall this past winter and a cool spring that has prevented the gradual melting of the record breaking snow, it has suddenly decided to get all warm and stuff and so now all this snow wants to melt at the same time.
On my trip up the "ICE" today it was just water water everywhere.
But the best of it is actually right beside my building in Banff where the river is pretty much full, actually it's more than full already and if it rises much more things could get downright adventurous around here.
The town has actually put up a little "berm" that they made out of some lego and a couple of old shower curtains to protect the Luxton Museum which is next door and where the river bank is lowest. Maybe I'll get a picture of it tomorrow.

that's kind of cool all that water. Its such a fun thing to watch flooding water unless of couse if it's affecting peoples houses and such. I would have liked to see those cars under water in Calgary the other day... The powerful forces of nature! WOW
cool pictures lorin. So did it get pretty close to your house. It amazes me how fast everything can melt and change everything. Hey you need to check out John and Tanis' blog. They posted a new plane video. Have a good day.
Good shots Lorin. Hope that lego partition holds out. Are you at risk of getting flooded out?
Probably not but the basement (storage) could get wet.
