Welcome to Alberta. Yellow Fields & Fay Wray

Crossing the border into Alberta was easy.  I left Glacier very early, so I was the only person at the border crossing when I arrived!   

The first thing that struck me as I entered Alberta were the fields of endless yellow flowers on both sides of the highway.   I've learned that it's canola.  I took a video that shows both sides of the highway filled with these flowers for as far as the eye can see, but it won't download; takes too long.   Perhaps the file's just too large.   But here's a photo...although the yellow in the photo isn't as nearly as vibrant as in real life.   ???

One of the first towns I came to is Cardston, about 5 blocks long.   Cardston's claim to worldly fame is through it's famous daughter, Fay Wray.    And don't any of you DARE to ask "Who's Fay Wray?"  

The center photo shows a weather-beaten explanation of Ms. Wray's fame and her many films.  The photo to the right is a modest but attractive fountain built in her honor.  I was unaware of the fact that Ms. Wray appeared in over 80 Hollywood films.  That's impressive.   I thought the fountain was rather small in comparison to her having appeared in so many films.   Of course, her claim to fame may have been her ability to utter bone-chilling screams of absolute terror and whimper convincingly in abject fear.  May we each have our claim to fame, eh?
