This is the hill above Fort Assiniboine, Alberta. It's been cut down some over the years and the bottom curve's been smoothed out, but those are minor changes.
It's still the hill I rode down every morning when I went to school and the hill we took to get anywhere that requited going through the Fort.
Something about this descent calms me. I look out over the vast green forest, gaze at the sure steady flow of the Athabasca River, and let my eyes rest on the faraway rise to the south and it could be any year, any season.
Time has ceased.
I am any age and every age, but mostly I am young again. As I look out over this scene and into the village I am reminded that anything is possible.

"Time has ceased." That's a good place to be.
David. Thanks. No time is a good place in time.
A place where you can touch eternity. Beautiful.
Strangely, I feel the same way when I drive down that hill.... I go back in time.
Messymimi, that's exactly it.
DfBag Lady, I wondered if anyone felt the same.
What a beautiful place.

Thank you, Barbara.
I know that feeling.
What a beautiful landscape. I haven't been to Canada for years and I am going to insist that we get our passports ASAP. You Canadians are posting way too many good photos...gotta see what's up there!
