Hard not to love summer in the Canadian Rockies. Spent a beautiful weekend floating in the crisp clear glacial fed waters of Annette Lake. I must say the temperature contrast between summer and winter is hard to fathom as an Australian. When were were up at this lake last winter it was a good 70 deg C (126 deg F) colder than this summer day. Jasper National Park, Alberta. Canada
Carvings of the Saints on the tomb of Felix O'Dulany, Jerpoint's first abbot and bishop of Ossory, who died in 1202. A mere 9 years before taking the role as bishop Felix experienced the Anglo-Norman invasion and the surrender of all the O'Dulany lands. Despite this Felix considered himself the father of all committed to his care regardless of weather they were Norman or Celts. His tomb attracted pilgrims well into the 1800's.
