While attending the Canadian Image Conference in Canmore, Alberta, a brief stroll across the road from the Inn I was staying in led us to this remarkable view of Mount Rundle reflecting in the creek that runs through the centre of town on it's way to the Bow River. Not a bad view for downtown in any town.
