This blog posting covers the whole day of July 31st, 2022. From a moody morning (still livid) to a gradually pleasing day we continues our adventure to what I assumed to be ‘Banff’. Instead, it’s Lake Louise. It eventually clicked as Lake Louise. Nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With scenery this grand, and majestic, it always baffles me why people keep pretending they’re fake Trans (for clout), playing with fake politics, even eroding traditionalism. When you snap back to your roots (to nature) you’re reminded of things which actually matter. Fake political nonsense doesn’t matter, nature does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower Spiral Tunnel (Railway):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friend wanted to help me drone something (even to boost my morale) so we stopped at this place to visit. A nice spot, even getting a nice eagle’s eye view using my drone. I’ve gained a view no other tourist had gained. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Lake Louise!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After 20 minutes of venting, fuming, and being livid (mainly my friend)…. Even pissing off the security we finally managed to have our way in. My friend parked in the middle of the road with Lake Louise’s security telling us to move it. If they [Lake Louise staff] planned this better security wouldn’t had to tell us to “fuck off”, or “Please move” nonsense. I was about to tell the security to screw off myself, they were getting on my nerves as well for even blocking parking in an area valid for parking. My friend was livid, I was getting frustrated. I was actually starting to have my blood boil with how “assertive” and weird those folks were. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Can you please move?”
“Can you move?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was ready to snap at them. I’m aware I’m repeating myself, still have to stress the fact I nearly blew my top, and I’m a silent fellow. I’m calm, quiet, and observant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– We parked in the middle right before the bend. Right on the medium, right next to some vacant parking going off from the right, and having come from the left. We were frustrated, the security being far more infuriating. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is what you get when Trudeau holds his nation hostage, you get revenge travelers. Insane amounts of them. I even held a quick conversation with other tourists noting how Lake Louise’s security was far too idiotic. Friend let us off, they desired to converse to which they ignored me after I misspoke. How rude. They eventually ignored me once I brought up ‘British Columbia Security’ by mistake when I meant Alberta security\/patrol during this time period. Noting their [tourists] silence I frustratingly wandered off. Everybody is so frustrating. Polite, yet rude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was happy to finally see some Japanese folks, especially two Japanese girls taking selfies. I was considering asking if they needed help, I instead shyly focused on taking figure photography. I noticed they wandered off from where I came. Shame. This is what my friend would have scolded me over if I had told him personally. I should have talked to them, instead being a “creep”. My reward is the view, the digital figure photography memorials, and the partial regret. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
