Rock Legs - Seat Yourself by the Bow River

Walking alongside the fast-talking Bow River, near Lake Louise, there are plenty of invitations to contemplation, this bench, collegiately long, though shy on legs, being one. There are others too, demonstrating, Alberta's fine sense of make-do, their outdoor hospitality and feel for place. Bravo Bow River.
