Incredible UFO 'Ball of Lightning' Orb - Canmore, AB, Canada - May 21, 2011
This is the first time that I’ve seen and managed to film this red/orange/green/blue Orb for such a long period of time. The best I can describe it is that it was like a contained ball of multicolor lightning. It appeared, I noticed, began filming with my Panasonic HDC-TM700 HD camera mounted to my Velbon video tripod and then it disappeared. About to pack it in and call it a night; it came back suddenly and I continued recording. It was very bright, barely moved and was hovering VERY low around the houses here. I pulled back the video frame a little so you could see the entire picture without thinking I’m super-zoomed in or something. This time round, it looked like a ball of electrical energy. Anyone else here in Canmore see anything like this over the long-weekend?

What time of the year is the best to find a job in Banff?
I’m originally from Calgary and I was looking into returning to Alberta to work in Banff for a year or so. I’ve heard that most jobs have already been filled for the upcoming winter so now probably isn’t the best time. I was planning on going in January right after Christmas and staying in a hostel while I look for work. Good idea?

Afternoon Canoe Trip in Banff National Park, Canada
An easy and beautiful canoe trip through the lakes and rivers of Banff National Park. Banff National Park is a vast untamed territory that begs to be explored. Wild animals roam the valleys, eagles soar over the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and pure water streams into rivers from 1000 glaciers. Hundreds of years ago aboriginal natives first discovered its beauty, quickly followed by explorers, map makers, and mountain climbers. Even the odd celebrity or royal type have popped by. And now you. Climb the same mountains, paddle the rivers, and inhale the air. Thats pure alpine. The sheer number of adventures, both indoors and out, is as hard to count as the peaks stretching into the distance. Ski, shop or spa, learn local history at museums and art galleries or wander down a hiking trail or two. In Banff and Lake Louise the possibilities are limitless. Summer Adventures Adventures in Banff National Park bring you face to face with nature; jagged mountain peaks rippling into the distance and thickly forested alpine valleys. Here, youll share the excitement with wild animals, wild spaces and the soothing rustle of wind through the trees. Activities in Banff and Lake Louise come at all levels. Take a casual stroll through wildflowers in an alpine meadow or test your extreme limits climbing to the roof of the Rocky Mountains. Backpack across rock ridges formed by undersea oceans over 45 million years ago, or tee-off at a five-star golf course. Throw a fish hook in the water, walk …

Transcendental Meditation - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at Lake Louise, Canada, 1968
www.tm.org Transcendental Meditation explained by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at Lake Louise, Canada 1968. This historic talk brings understanding to the nature of inner life. Maharishi says that practicing the Transcendental Meditation Technique is a way to help dissolve stresses and to quickly enjoy life to the maximum. Transcript Maharishi: “The depth of the lake, and the ripples, and the beautiful reflection of the glacier, reminds me of the story of inner life. The mind is deep like a lake, the ripples on the surface represent the conscious mind, the activity of the mind on the surface. And the whole depth of the lake is silent and that is the sub conscious mind which is not used by the wave. But if, the wave could deepen, and incorporate more silent levels of the water, the waves could become the waves of the ocean – the mighty waves. This is what happens in Transcendental Meditation. The surface activity of the conscious mind deepens and incorporates within its fold the depth of the sub conscious. Nothing remains sub conscious the whole sub conscious becomes conscious and a man starts using the full potential of the mind. And the reflection of the glacier on the water is like the impression that the objects of the mind perceives and as long as the mind is not capable of maintaining its essential nature which is bliss consciousness, so long the mind gets imprinted by the perceptions of the objects and this is called the bondage of the mind…” Maharishi Mahesh Yogi goes …
