Banff misc.

The public bins here are all designed with a locking mechanism to keep bears out.

Anti Bear spray

Lucy photographed this deer, right outside the window of the hostel this morning.

A view from Banff Avenue in town.

Homo Milk, how rude! Angela told us we'd see this at some point, it's homogenized and good for you. Funny name though.

This is the 2nd Mountie we've seen in Canada. I'm beginning to think they're all made of wood.

We went on the free bus to the cable cars (called gondola's - I thought that was something else). The view from the platform was amazing, we were higher up so a proper unobstructed view of the Rocky Mountains.




We stopped at a river on the way back to town. The water round here (though you can't really see it in this photo) has a weird turquoise tint to it, something to do with sulphur coming off the glaciers.
