My ensuite in the Canadian wilds.
Glad I upgraded to the deluxe!

Very spooky to use the john at 3 am with coyotes and wolves howling.
And owls hooting.
And ceaseless winds blowing down from the Rockies creaking and rattling everything.

Pincher Creek, Alberta.

Filming location of Tomorrowland, dir. Brad Bird and The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet, dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

Kinda wondrous to be writing Alberta film ‘on location’.
