It is a gorgeous late summer day. This picture is from a hike I took earlier in the week. We had open studios as part of the Visual Arts Open House which was a great success. This place is still basically amazing!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631569424839924333-4676971714531606710?l=virgonic.blogspot.com'/></div>McLeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14586847061543895621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631569424839924333.post-70173133038484813942007-08-21T12:50:00.000-07:002007-08-21T12:56:55.635-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ljxB2xUDv2c/RstCPJieC4I/AAAAAAAAABU/Ux0EViJKHhY/s1600-h/banffoutmywindow.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ljxB2xUDv2c/RstCPJieC4I/AAAAAAAAABU/Ux0EViJKHhY/s320/banffoutmywindow.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101243830953184130" /></a><br />So this is what I am currently waking up to every morning at The Banff Centre. It is just horrible and awful to subject me to a view like this. Seriously though, it is amazing up here. The people are great and the facilities get better everytime I turn around.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631569424839924333-7017313303848481394?l=virgonic.blogspot.com'/></div>McLeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14586847061543895621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631569424839924333.post-80830770506547727552007-08-19T22:10:00.001-07:002007-08-19T22:13:17.884-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ljxB2xUDv2c/Rskik5ieC3I/AAAAAAAAABM/TZnWd6N_r3Y/s1600-h/gashead.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ljxB2xUDv2c/Rskik5ieC3I/AAAAAAAAABM/TZnWd6N_r3Y/s320/gashead.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100646070289828722" /></a><br />I have been tooling around Canada for the past 11 days or so and now have made my way to the Banff Centre for my self-directed residency.

Ok, I know that I am a bit behind in doing so.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ljxB2xUDv2c/RrFn7OC0ltI/AAAAAAAAAAs/UkvAet1U0y8/s1600-h/serra1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ljxB2xUDv2c/RrFn7OC0ltI/AAAAAAAAAAs/UkvAet1U0y8/s320/serra1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093966920612615890" /></a><br /><br />I thought that it was going to be bigger... and i was amazed to see it welded all the way up. I liked the idea of it balancing. I romanticized my Serra. The more time I spent with it, the more I appreciated the way that it fit into the space, the plaza and the surrounding architecture. Go see it!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631569424839924333-6248820677937900687?l=virgonic.blogspot.com'/></div>McLeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14586847061543895621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631569424839924333.post-42027641545171465732007-07-30T18:12:00.001-07:002007-07-30T22:16:05.476-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ljxB2xUDv2c/Rq7FjuC0lrI/AAAAAAAAAAc/XPnuFQIXhMg/s1600-h/meters.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ljxB2xUDv2c/Rq7FjuC0lrI/AAAAAAAAAAc/XPnuFQIXhMg/s320/meters.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093225446048569010" /></a><br /><br />On my first day of not working for the man I actually got a lot done!
