Under blue skies, a mountain view with modern buildings in the foreground. Photo is taken from a high angle.

A view down the Bow River valley from the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, over the town of Banff.

The Banff Centre is a major Canadian institution for the continuing education and professional development of working artists. It’s been around since 1933, and has a huge, futuristic campus just above the town of Banff, in Banff National Park.

“« “You’re fancy,” the little fish said, her voice sleepy.

Sylvain looked down. He was in full court garb, a manikin in satin, wrapped in polished leather and studded with silver buttons.
