View from Calgary Airport Terminal, originally uploaded by RTPeat.

• Which Way to the Car Park? Which Way to the Car Park?, originally uploaded by RTPeat. I like this picture, not because it's a great picture, but just because of the slight ridiculousness of it! It was taken at the village fete a few years ago, and as you can see, as a result of......
• Wild Goose Island and Saint Mary Lake Wild Goose Island and Saint Mary Lake, originally uploaded by RTPeat. This is my most popular picture on Flickr.
