Western Canada 1997

• Aug. 30 - on highway 93 between Lake Louise, Alberta and Radium Hot Springs, BC:
• Aug. 31 - Glacier National Park: hike to the Illecillewaet Glacier (pictures 2, 3 and 4 show a view of this glacier from above; especially on the 4th picture one can see how the glacier is very slowly flowing down the valley; far down on the third picture is a tiny Eva still high above the toe of the glacier):
• Sept. 1 - Illecillewaet River in the Mount Revelstoke National Park:
• Sept. 4 - Pictures from a Sunshine Coast ferry sailing from Earls Cove to Saltery Bay across the Jarvis Inlet. The last one is a view from the bowels of the ferry, from the lowest deck through the open gate in the bow, just minutes before landing at Saltery Bay:
• Sept. 5 - Early morning in the Powell River marina on the Sunshine Coast. Note the reflection of the sky on the absolutely quiet water surface. In the background is the (MacMillan Bloedel) pulp mill north of the town:
• Sept. 5 - Pictures from a ferry from Powell River on the Sunshine Coast to Comox on Vancouver Island. On the first one is again the puffing pulp mill in Powell River:

On the road leading to these meadows we met the chipmunk whose picture is at the top of this page. It is compared on the right with the boots of my daughter Eva. Chipmunk is the smallest member of the squirrel family, and lives in dens in the ground.
