游阿尔伯塔省高河镇之农场之父铜像_02
(乔治爱默生 )
High River is a town in southwestern Alberta, Canada with a population of 10,716(2006).[2] It is 37 kilometres (23 mi) south of the city of Calgary, at the junction of Alberta Highways 2 and 23. Although reasonably distant from Calgary, the town is nonetheless considered to be part of the Calgary Region. The community gets its name from the Highwood River, which flows through the town, and often floods in the spring.
The town is best known for being the birthplace of former Canadian Prime Minister Joe Clark. Other well-known former citizens include W.O. Mitchell, author of such books as Who Has Seen the Wind and Roses Are Difficult Here, and NHL and WHA hockey player John "Pie" McKenzie.
High River was used as a set for Smallville in Superman III, as well as High River, Montana in Nickelodeon's series Caitlin's Way. Recently, Heartland, a CBC television series has found High River its main filming spot. Also, the movie Carolina Moon based on the book by Nora Roberts was filmed in High River.
As part of High River's tourism and heritage endeavours, a number of murals were painted around town during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. High River hosted the World Professional Chuckwagon Association Dodge Pro Tour Championships in 2006 and 2010. The Museum of the Highwood (c. 1911-2), which sustained smoke, water and fire damage following a fire in the building's attic in July 2010, is on the Canadian Register of Historic Places.
高河镇(High River Town)旧城区不大,当GRAIG用一小时撤卸完我的汽车玻璃挡板并装上新的后,他要我等三个小时才能出门。这三小时我干什么好?前面一个小时,翻完了Hunting Regulations 2011 Alberta。而外面数九寒天,我没地方去,遂提出哪里有咖啡厅的问题?
按照他的指引,我出门了。哈哈,先发现隔壁高河涂污,摄了三张(见游阿尔伯塔高河镇之高河涂污_01)。又来到咖啡屋,CLOSED!原来还是加拿大太平洋铁路列车改装成的咖啡餐厅,又摄了三张(见图8-10)。
天气气温是-7、8度吧?虽然很冷又冻手。还是照了不少(见图11-22)。
