So my undergraduate work on a possible non-zero photon rest mass continues to make headlines. Funny story...I actually took this picture. We (Dallin my advisor, fellow student Chris, and I) were at a conference up in Calgary and had a few hours to kill so we decided to enjoy the majesty that is Banff. We (I) were too cheap to pay the fee for a gondola ride to the top of a mountain, so we decided to just hike it instead. Maybe it was the altitude, but we thought it would be hilarious to start taking pictures periodically along the hike with our arms around nobody. The plan was to photoshop William Shatner into all the pictures so that we could say that we hiked this mountain in Banff with him. If you're interested, you can see a few more of the pictures from one of the most beautiful areas of the world here. You can see from the pictures we actually hiked pretty near to the top of the mountain.
Well it looks like Willy has taken a back seat to a fat photon!

Nice photon. It's amazing how you've managed to be a physics major and not become too nerdy. :)
I looked at the rest of your pictures - amazingly enough, my uncle was the manager at "Head Smached in Buffallo Jump" for quite awhile. I've been there many times. It is a crazy story, and an even crazier name.
Man, Canada's cool. :-)
