Thank you friends for your wonderful comments. Apologies for my late response and thank you..lately I have been very busy... To answer Gentle question, no, we don't have tornados here. Some storms with spectacular lightings can be wild...from time to time during the hot summer days only. Cheers, Rafal

Hi Rafal,
This place is surely inviting, I love sights of vast, open green field amidst stormy clouds, one of the awesome sights to see. The area looks like the U.S. Mid-West. Going there sure looks "all win, no loose" for any avid traveller since the city sights (as seen in your prevoius articles of Calgary) & the areas outside the city are all scenic! By the way, how strong are the storms up there? Do you get tornadoes like in the U.S. Mid-West?

Another Great Batch
When I opened WorldisRound this morning, I was happy to see another article posted by you, Rafal. Thanks for more terrific photos. Calgary is my hometown, but I have lived in beautiful BC for 12 years now. We are coming home to Alberta to visit in July and seeing these pictures makes me all that much more excited. I love the foothills, the countryside just west of town and amazing skies that change so quickly as the clouds and weather fronts move in and out. I have spent many happy days there wandering those foothills. Thanks again for stirring my memories of that beauty. I can clearly imagine the smell of the air and the feeling of the wind.
