The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.
- Abraham Lincon
Distraction
Distraction is the diversion of attention of an individual or group. According to philosopher Damon Young, distraction is chiefly an inability to identify, attend to or attain what is valuable. So the question really is - what should we be paying attention to and what is a distraction?
A Wild Year
12 months. Four seasons. One revolution of the sun.
Youtube Video
That's how long Banff National Park's remote wildlife camera project has been going and to celebrate, we've assembled a year's worth of images from one single location into a short Wild Images video timelapse.
Have a look -- you'll be amazed by how much goes on. And it all happened a short two-and-a-half-hour stroll from the hustle and bustle of downtown Banff!
It goes to show how alive the woods are and, if you get into them, what you might be lucky enough to see!

From our base in Calgary we have fun world-wide.
It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.

Rus Aerobatic Sqaudron
Nathan & Dave flew with the Rus (Pycb) Aerobatic squadron at the Vyzhma (Vjazma) airforce base in July 2007. Vyzhma is home to a DOSAAF (Voluntary Society of Assistance to the Army, the Air Force and the Navy) flight training unit that is the aerobatic squadron's home and a reserve unit of Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopters.
The Czech built L-39 is tons of fun to fly.
