Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park in the rain

Another view through the rain and mist (and a wet lens) at Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park, a long drive NE of Calgary, on 15 July 2012. Everywhere is unusually green this summer. It is such an amazing feeling when you are travelling across the flat Alberta Prairies and suddenly come across a scene like this - a giganitic, eroded crack in the surface of the earth. Similar feeling when one comes across the badlands at Drumheller and Dinosaur Provincial Park.

Today, I am finally getting eight windows and my patio door replaced, so it will be a long day for the contractors, and for me : ) I'm sure they will be so glad when they have finished all mine, as I am the last place to be done. I'm kind of hoping that it doesn't flow over to tomorrow, too, but we'll have to see. Also really hoping that it doesn't rain on either day, as it would have to be postponed yet again. I can't wait to have windows that can finally be opened, especially at the moment, as it is unbearably hot and humid.
