Oh, I didn't share Monday's episode. Here it is: fewer tracks than usual because of an extended interview with a federal minister on the upcoming Alberta separation referendum. Hopefully non-Alberta listeners will understand, but you can also just grab the Apple Music playlist... Links in next post.
A slightly muddled but still lovely view of the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary in autumn; yellowing trees above a reflective pond, overlapping details of leaves, clouds, and sunlight in the water.Track list:

Foggy morning at Three Valley Lake. Certainly providing plenty of atmosphere.
A 1960s mountain hotel lit in morning sunlight with thick fog over the lake in the background. View of the hotel’s “ghost town” (buildings from old mining towns, purchased as they were slated for demolition and moved to the lakeside location). The low sun and heavy fog make for a moody view.

Something magical about the summer evening sun, a very specific quality when it’s still this bright at 9pm.
A copse of trees and green grass, evening sun covered in leaves but bursting through, a downtown skyline just barely visible on the horizon.
