We found Escape City in Calgary tonight and completed the Mindmaster Industries room. The story of the room was great and even though it was just the two of us we moved through it well. The room was well executed and the puzzles were just right. Room 70! 🧩

We visited Q.Lab Coffee this afternoon. I was impressed with their coffee program and had to try a “Gold Label” pour over. Delicious. Had a cappuccino as well. β˜•οΈ

Tammy and I wrapped up an awesome Banff & Lake Louise photo workshop led by the incredibly talented Chase Guttman this afternoon. Great locations and photos β€” and learning photography skills at the same time. Has me thinking about the next workshop… πŸ“·

Sunrise on the mountains.

Snow-capped mountains are reflected in a calm lake surrounded by dense green forests under a dramatic sky.

The 4:15a alarm this morning to go shoot sunrise is reminding me of a saying I first heard from my friend Layne Kennedy:

Big part of photography is f/8 and be there.
