Poslednýkrát sa pozrite na Downtown Calgary:
Keď budete mať ďalšie otázky ohľadom Kanady, nájdem na ne odpoveď :-)
(a štvrtok sa vidíme, tak nezabudnite na mňa :-) )
Dnes si pripomíname už siedme výročie tragédie, ktorá zasiahla snáď každého Američana. Tu je niekoľko faktov:


Už je koniec.
Už jeho slová a jeho činy ožijú na striebornom plátne.
Jeho slová k nám ale ostanú v nás a v našich myšlienkach.
Jeho zázračný úsmev bude navždy len na plátne.
ZBOHOM


Neuveriteľne nádherná pesnička. Tá baba má zážitok na celý život. Byť tak na jej mieste,...
Toto je kanadský spevák, ktorý mi pripomína Jamesa Blunta. Asi sa zo mňa pomaly ale isto stáva Kanaďanka, lebo začínam počúvať kanadské pesničky. Ale nie je pekná? :-) A má aj dobrý text.
Another day breaks and the last one's gone
You dig deep just to carry on
Your debt's paid off but it don't feel gone
So you slip out the back and you're moving on
I can never figure out how to make a case
That this don't amount to a fall from grace
She wants to know can I replace
This tired wool with satin lace
Says you're on a bridge to nowhere and you're gettin' there fast
Put it in the past, put it in the past
If this is a race then I hope you come last
You're on a bridge to nowhere and you're gettin' there fast
Pressure builds till it breaks the door
You can build a house you can't build a home
And it's a fool who believes love is bred in the bone
And there's no guarantees that you won't get stoned
Yeah, I'm a fool who believed love is bred in the bone
And there are no guarantees that I won't get stoned
Says you're on a bridge to nowhere and you're gettin' there fast
Put it in the past, put it in the past
If this is a race then I hope you come last
You're on a bridge to nowhere and you're gettin' there fast
I don't know where it leads, oh no
All I know is that I don't wanna breathe this chemical breeze
No more
So another day breaks and the last one's gone
You dig deep just to carry on
Your debt's paid off but it don't feel gone
So you slip out the back and you're moving on
Says you're on a bridge to nowhere and you're gettin' there fast
Put it in the past, put it in the past
If this is a race then I hope you come last
You're on a bridge to nowhere and you're gettin' there fast
Yeah you're on a bridge to nowhere and you're gettin' there fast
Put it in the past, put it in the past
If this is a race then I hope you come last
You're on a bridge to nowhere and you're gettin' there fast
Known as a living village, Heritage Park recreates early Western Canadian history through costumed interpreters, street theatre and over 150 buildings and exhibits. The Park's historical collections comprise 45,000 artifacts representing most aspects of a settler's life in pre-1814 Western Canada. At Heritage Park, you not only get to learn about life during the turn of the century, you get an opportunity to take part in it all. From learning how to make butter or ice cream to printing a newspaper, Heritage Park is an interactive museum that kids and adults of all ages can enjoy.
Heritage Park is divided into three time periods: 1860s fur trading era - when the settlers first started heading west and established the Hudson's Bay Company Fort to trade with the natives; the 1880s pre-railway settlement - the promise of the railroad encouraged more people to head west, small towns and ranches began to develop; and the circa 1910 western town - after the railroad was completed and oil and gas were discovered towns along the railroad began to boom. Some of the most popular exhibits in the town are: the Alberta Bakery, which serves mouth-watering fresh baking, each day of the season; the Vulcan Ice cream Parlour, which dishes up delicious ice cream for our guests to enjoy and the Lakeview Amusement Park, which includes antique midway rides and games for the family to enjoy.
The Park has three modes of transportation on site including: an authentic steam locomotive which operates around the perimeter of the park and makes stops at three of our authentic railway stations at the park; the S.S. Moyie Sternwheeler which cruises the reservoir and offers breathtaking views of the city and the mountains and horse-drawn wagon rides that take you through the park.Keď som to začala pozerať, najprv to vyzeralo ako upútavka na nejaký veľkofilm :-) Ale je to super spravené. A LaFontaine má úžasný hlas.
Ďalšie video z mojej produkcie. Tentokrát sme boli cez víkend na výlete v Olympic Parku a ďalší deň v Glenbow Museum v centre Calgary. Pre tých, čo nevedia čo je Olympic Park, je to lyžiarske stredisko na okraji Calgary, kde bola v roku 1988 zimná olympiáda a natáčal sa tu aj film Kokosy na snehu. Skokanský mostík, na ktorom som bola, je najvyšší bod Calgary a má 1284 metrov. Síce museli sme tam ísť kúsok do kopca pešo, ale ten výhľad stál za to. Vidieť celé Calgary ako na dlani a ešte keď sa k tomu pridá aj výhľad na hory, je asi zážitok na celý život. Veď uvidíte sami.
Mám tu aj pár fotiek spred radnice, kde sú sochy koňov v životnej veľkosti. Tak si ma predstavte, čo som na nich ja stvárala :-) Škoda, že neboli živé.
A teraz k múzeu. Nachádza sa v centre mesta, má 4 poschodia aj s prízemím a je to vlastne taká akoby história Ameriky alebo čo, lebo tam boli všelijaké veci týkajúce sa Indiánov, Divokého Západu, ale aj Číňanov,... Bolo tam pekne. Všeličo sa tam dalo vyskúšať, dalo sa pustiť video, dokonca som si vyskúšala, ako sa cestovalo vo vlaku (pri osídlovaní),... Len tam bolo trošku zima :-) (asi preto, aby tam všetky tie veci vydržali).
A čo sa týka veveričiek, tak tá prvá behala po meste a tá druhá v parku. Tu to nie je žiadna vzácnosť, že veverička v meste a ešte v akom veľkom. Tu sú všade. Ale myslím, že my doma máme krajšie. :-)
Tieto fotky vznikli v sobotu, 21.6., ale robila som z nich video až dnes, lebo som nemala vôbec čas, každý deň chodím po meste po obchodoch atď. Tak sa nehnevajte za oneskorenie. :-)
