Awesome shot, very nice!Out again this morning before sunrise again. Shortly after sunrise, I took this photo.
Things seem a week or two behind what they normally are in my part of the world.

Thank you! Loving the changing of the seasons.Awesome shot, very nice!
Thank you!Very nice ! I’m looking to retire in the very near future and am thinking about moving to Canada. I’ll do more serious research on it in the coming months. Thanks for posting.
Cooler weather here is a fact of life.Nice shot which conveys the seasonal change and makes me look forward to cooler weather here in CA. Just cannot believe that this year has sped by so quickly!
That's a beautiful shot!Out again this morning before sunrise again. Shortly after sunrise, I took this photo.

I’m originally from Chicago Illinois, and the winters in this area can be brutal too !Thank you!
Moving to Canada? It's such a vast place. Every province is different. The only drawback that I see is our winters here in Alberta are a month or two, too long.
I have no idea if it's difficult for Americans to emigrate here.I’m originally from Chicago Illinois, and the winters in this area can be brutal too !
I’ve heard it’s difficult for an American to move to Canada, any truth to that ?
I grew up in Saskatoon and Edmonton, moved to Ottawa for work and got frostbite for the first time in my life.We get "dry" cold here in Alberta compared to the "moist" cold in eastern Canada. Supposedly it doesn't feel as cold where we are but the few times that it's gotten to -35 C or -40 C IT FEELS COLD but that doesn't happen very often.
It can be. Might be harder if you're retired rather than coming for work, unless you have family here, as we don't have retirement visas (unlike some countries).I’ve heard it’s difficult for an American to move to Canada, any truth to that ?
Wet or dry, cold is cold.I grew up in Saskatoon and Edmonton, moved to Ottawa for work and got frostbite for the first time in my life.
Ontario's damp cold sucks the heat out of you much faster than the Prairies' dry cold!
But wet cold requires dressing differently. That's why I have frostbite — I dressed for the temperature as if it was a dry cold…Wet or dry, cold is cold.
Lake Louise has become traffic central over the past few years. In fact, you now need to hop on a bus to get to Moraine Lake where you could previously drive. They do that to avoid parking problems.Fantastic shot! We love Alberta -- we honeymooned @Lake Louise and Banff waaaaaay back in '86. On my bucket list to go back one day.
That totally sucks. I remember heading out before dawn to try to catch sunrise on the lake, and wanted to try that again.In fact, you now need to hop on a bus to get to Moraine Lake where you could previously drive.
Hmmm. Interesting, and really only fair if you think about it. That’s something way different from here in the U.S., and it’s been a political lightning rod for years here, still is. I’ll need to look into it more. Thanks.It can be.

Part of that is taxpayer-funded health care, which as someone retired you wouldn't be paying into (while presumably using). I know when I looked at sponsoring a friend I would have been on the hook for any health care, social security etc they used for years afterwards.
