Looking for Snails

This work depicts the view out across the Bow Valley from the Cave and Basin in Banff, where, playing tourist over the winter holidays, we spent a wonderful afternoon re-discovering some of the wonders this place has and the delicate balance that keeps this special ecosystem going. With warm sulphur springs steaming into the winter air, we looked across the wetlands and down into the algae covered ponds, searching for endangered Banff snails.
