some more Jasper photos...

Canadian geese (I wonder if they call them that in Canada? not sure) with a ridge of recently-snow-covered mountains in the background. Jasper is pretty much surrounded by mountains that look like this:




The train tracks that run through town. Fortunately the train doesn't seem to make much noise, since it's pretty close by:



Either a coyote or a wolf (most likely a coyote, but it does look pretty wolf-like) that I saw on the way out to the dump with a load of yard debris:



In front of the Chateau Jasper while working, one of the resorts that I work around as gardener/groundskeeper. Also employee housing, where I live, is in the back of this hotel:



Update: a friend says they're actually called Canada Geese; and that she thinks the blurry photo is of a coyote, not a wolf. That does seem more likely since coyotes are more likely to hang out in the vicinity of humans than wolves.
