A walk under the Trans-Canada

After taking back to school photographs of our kids in the countryside, we went to an underpass along the Trans-Canada Highway west of Calgary. It is covered in graffiti and offers an interesting juxtaposition with the rolling prairie.  This picture of the three oldest children walking out of the shadows was a favorite from this scene.

A small group of monks from Ganden Sumtseling Gompa took a walk around Lamuyang Lake in the early evening.  I was strolling along the wooden pathway and stopped to photograph them as they approached.  The monastery sits on a hill above the lake a short distance from here and I was told monks often circle it before dusk.  I did love photographing Sumtseling that evening but this was a good moment where I felt a connection with this place and her people.
