<p>This was the scene Sunday evening, July 29 with the gibbous Moon shining over Banff, Alberta.</p>
<p>I shot this from the viewpoint on Mt. Norquay overlooking the town of Banff, a favourite evening spot for tourists. Two just happened to wander into the scene and point at the Moon right on cue.</p>
<p>The mountain at left is Mt. Rundle; at right is Sulphur Mountain with its Gondola lift and hot springs, the &#8220;spa&#8221; attraction that created Banff in the 1880s and inspired the CP Railroad to build its famous Banff Springs Hotel, here in the distance on the far side of the town and still the posh place to stay when in Banff.</p>
