And that, my friends, is why I'm moving to Edmonton.

I should post the pics of the badlands and mountains, huh?

Incoming!! This is kinda half travel half you live here kinda sorta. These are pics of stuff I saw in Alberta while I was there and for the next few months I'll be a few hours from.

Let's see. The Royal Tyrrell Museum is for NERDS. Dinosaur nerds.



T-Rex can't jerk off, that's why he's so pissy. Speaking of jerking off...



After we stopped drooling over how awesome this ammonite specimen was, we immediately made Saionji/duel chorus jokes.



AXOLOTL OMG CUTE

We drove out to the museum and then thought...FUCK THAT. Let's drive out to the god damn badlands! Dinosaur Provincial Park ahoy!







Check out the neato rock formations! Watermarks is coolbies. Also Gio had a god damn heart attack trying to climb down from these things after the sun started setting. I suck at the not falling. Luckily Akio seems to have a penchant for falling women.

Then we returned to Edmonton and slept...and then said HAY LET'S GO TO THE MOUNTAINS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!



Jasper Lodge, where snobby people pretend they're out in nature!



The view from where we ate lunch. Lunch was bread and cheese and pate and fruit. Apparently Canadians like to stack rocks, so we made our own contribution.



But we got as far as Jasper and went...FUCK THAT. LET'S GO TO THE COLUMBIA ICEFIELD!



You can't quite see the glacier in this picture but it's in the left bit of the white in the center.



Drive a bit more and you hit the Athabasca Glacier that moves off the bigass fucking field of ice behind it. Oh, but they let you walk on that sucker!



More bread and cheese was consumed here.



This is what the glacier did to a chunk of rock. I grabbed a smaller specimen and took it home. Then on the way back we stopped so I could look at pretty waterfall on the side of the road.



You know what I see on the side of the road in Miami? Canals! What do I see in Canada? LUNCH.



He was totally voguing for us. Then last, but not least, we drove out on a later date to the Devonian Botanical Garden. (The name makes a nerd like me snicker heartily...)



Insert Mikage joke here. Or Mikage, he can insert anything he wants here, baby.



FIRE PLANTS. I wish I remembered what these were called because I want a bunch of them.



We just caught the end of rose season, but here a few red ones stayed out for Tou-...Yasha.



These are ladybird poppies. Akio would totally bite the petals off them. Last but not least, from the kitchen! We cooked and ate far stranger things than this but...HEART. OF. COW.

Now I totally understand why you've got to move there. What breath taking scenery!

This thread has been inactive too long again. So here's a shot I took last week. Yes, I've altered it a bit. And I've got it much larger, if anyone wants wallpaper, it's what I'm using right now.



Is this too big? I really don't know much about that...

I don't know how to say this other than the fact that the heart of cow is actually appetizing

The flower reminds me of the penis/ovary reference that the English class mentioned last semester. The topic was blasphemy/censorship

And yes, the train does go through the water.

Dude that's badass.

I think I posted a couple of these but here we go! Fall in Edmonton!

The Legislature Grounds right across the street from our apartment. I mean I'm 30 seconds from awesomesauce like this.




This is the town across the river from our place, photo taken from the high level bridge that's kinda buried in the Legislature Grounds.


This is the view on the other end of the bridge, back toward the apartment and downtown Edmonton. Coulda come out a lot better, but I tried.

I have pictures now too.
...I suppose this post can also double for Red Angel too.


Outside our livingroom window...


Strangely placed gate to our school...


The church at our school...


.....Pants?


My godly grocery store. (I'm in love with this place.)


...It looks nice in this photo, but its really like some horrible sludge monster will come out and attack...


I'm working!! I'm workingggggggg!!!1 X__x


Red Angel and I watching our favourite TV show, photosynthesis.
(obviously I'm not the one with painted toenails...)

That is fucking awesome, Clarice. You need to take more pics of creepy angel statues, okay? (Pretty please? )

That's because they're not Americans.

True. Yosemite is pretty. As is Yellowstone. And the Grand Tetons.

*snerk* Tetons.

How the hell did I miss this?

Your house is so cute, Cerise!

Great job making something in Indiana look good.

The pictures here are beautiful. They all seem so exotic to me... I guess I'm really sheltered on my little island. The angel statue is stunning - we only have war memorials in our parks/towns.

Anyways, here are some backyard photos. My parents are avid gardeners, so we take great pride in photos of trees.

This is our pear tree with fruit.




...and a plum tree...



and a picture taken from our cabin located in rural Newfoundland.
