"…and a chance of evening Fleury's."
This is where I will add my graphic designs that I have done over the years. I use mostly Adobe InDesign or Ilustrator. I am also learning Corel Paint Shop Pro. Graphic designing means you have to work with other people to get the poster completed. They will tell you what they want and you have to come up with the final product. It can take a few days but once everyone is happy then it worth it. The fun part is seeing your art out in public. That’s the best part.
Erratic’s found in Alberta are from the Ice Age that ended about 12,000 years ago. Today’s geologists have their viewpoint and native people have theirs on these rocks. Some are small and some are massive like Big Rock in Rocky Mountain House or the Okotoks Erratic. I have travelled far to find these rocks or “Asini” in the Cree language and they are a mystery to me. There are stories about the retreat of the glaciers and these rocks being dropped off as it goes but I think there’s more to the story. The area around Cypress Hills was never touched by the glaciers the Cree Elder told me a few years ago. There are some unusual rock formations near Elkwater and into Saskatchewan. There was a lot going on after the retreat of the glaciers. These massive stones were not, in my opinion, dropped off by slow moving glaciers but rather dropped off in one massive flood. The evidence is public and anyone can look it up now. We can thank Graham Hancock for that research and credit goes to him for that work.
This part of turtle island got hit by a comet about 12, 980 years ago. No one likes a cataclysm. The Elder I talked to about this said there was a flood here way back in time. These rocks got transported on huge icebergs. When the water finally drained away these rocks got stranded where they lie. People can believe what they want. I know the mainstream researchers want to keep the story of turtle island to themselves. That is colonialism.
The Okotoks Erratics. The one across the road.
The Glacial Erratic at Nose Hill in Calgary. I believe it was brought in by a giant iceberg. At one time everything below this was water.

2024 is here. I met Arto Djerdjerian at a photography engagement in Banff. Arto photographed the Ya Ha Tinda Ranch which is down the Forestry Trunk road. A very remote area. They were rebuilding a road there and found native artifacts. Arto had a friend at the engagement and the friend said the artifacts were 13,000 years old. That is the Younger Dryas era.
Catch me on Google maps as Native Sun. I just got one million views on my pictures. You have to start somewhere if your going to be good at something.
Whirlpool Point is in Alberta, Canada. The water is turquoise or blue whichever you see. I see turquoise. The nearest town is Nordegg, Alberta. There is plaque with names on it near the river, those were the trailblazers back in those days but the First Nations people already new these routes before them. These pictures were taken with my Lenovo Tablet4 8.
These are few photographs that I have taken over the years. I use mainly Olympus cameras so a sponsorship would be nice but is that not what we are looking for? My Mom was an amateur photographer so I think I got it from her. Memories are important and photography captures it in a good way. Photo’s help you relive the past for brief time.
I’ve been taking pictures with my Olympus OMD EM10 camera in the Rocky Mountains lately. Right now I am using my Samsung Galaxy A03S 13 megapixel cell phone. I also record interviews on that as well with the Samsung Voice Recorder App which works really good. The Lenovo Tablet TB-8504F is 8 megapixels. I also use remote flash. The best time to use flash is at night at cultural events like a pow wow. The flash I use right now is the Godox X1T 2.4 GS transmitter and the Godox flash.
I finally went out to Abraham Lake in Alberta, Canada. It has been a few months due to the cold weather. When I went out January 26, 2020, there were a few people enjoying the weather and taking pictures of the lake bubbles which are produced by methane at the lake’s bottom. I also went out in January of 2019 to take some more pictures with my Asus Zenphone 13 megapixel. Driving out that way is risky so be prepared.
Way back in the 1980s, I can’t remember the year, I took a trip from Skookumchuck (yes that’s the name) to Rocky Mountain House, Alberta with two people who are no longer with us. As I started my journey I had to go where I haven’t been in a while. That meant blazing a new trail for myself and going somewhere I haven’t been in a while. The first challenge was leaving Lake Louise in Alberta and making it to the BC border. As usual in mountain traveling it went up very far. Coming down was challenging too. I had to make sure not to gain to much speed because you don’t know how your vehicle is going to handle in these conditions. In BC they have run a way lains for truck drivers who lost control of their vehicles.
Getting to the Radium Hot Springs was not too bad it was coming back that was hard. As I got to Radium the small town reminded me of a Swiss Village. From there I made it to Skookumchuk and talked to a local lady. We knew the same people from that time and she updated me on the people I used to know. So I left Skooks to go Cranbrook. The place I was born. The small city has not changed much and you can still smell the pulp mill in the morning.
Finally I made it back to Alberta. Coming home was more challenging than getting there. You feel good getting home, it’s true whoever said that. It was a great get a way for two days. I packed up, got in my truck and left. I recommend people do that once in a while.
