Footsteps

One of these sets of footprints is mine, taken at the bottom of the steps that led up the promintory. Can you guess which set it is?

Walkway

After I'd been wandering around the back of central Red Deer I came across the Rotary recreation park. It had a walk which led up the hill. The challenge for me was whether I could get up and back in time to catch the bus which was shortly to depart. Typical of me to find the interesting walk at the last minute. Needless to say, risk taker that I am, I climbed the trail.

This picture is of the walkway they had constructed to take the path around the steep shoulder of the hillface at its worst. Climbing the path eventually gave one a good view of Red Deer.

If you can't pick it, it's snowing moderately strong at time this is taken, though the trees give shelter.

Creek

From Innisfail I got a lift into Red Deer, from where I eventually caught the bus to Calgary. I had a number of hours to kill in the morning between being dropped off and the bus departing. After drinking my limit of coffee, I braved a walk in the falling snow. I always was a risk taker...

This view is from beneath one of the bridges of Red Deer, looking down the creek. I was standing on ice formed under the bridge. I love the colours.
