Stampede visit

Today I bought a ticket for the Stampede (last day, the finals): first the rodeo, then the chuckwagon (huifkar) races. It was a unique experience! Here's a video from TV:

The rodeo was spectacular and seemed like a fun thing to try out one day, until you see the cowboy fall off the bull and its madly kicking paws (legs) barely miss the guy's skull... time after time.

Below is my own video. Image quality sucks, but oh boy, that atmosphere!!!

On the c-train home, I had a breathtaking view on Calgary and the Rockies:
