In urma cu cativa ani am avut ocazia sa vizitez Parcul National Banff si alte cateva arii protejate majore din zona, din Muntii Stancosi ai Canadei. Amintirea ursilor grizzly, a ursilor negri, a somonilor rosii din cursuri de ape transparente, a muntilor cu ghetari si a padurilor fara-de-margine, a preeriei cu bizoni nord-americani in grupuri marunte, a gastelor de Canada zburand deasupra raului, vizitarea unor triburi de amer-indieni... superbele peisaje din Alberta si British Columbia... Cred ca merita incercata oportunitatea de mai jos. Peter To see this message in HTML format, click here: http://www.banffcentre.ca/emails/mc/2007/mountain-writing.html
The Banff Centre, Mountain Culture 2007 Banff Mountain Writing Program October 26 to November 17, 2007 Application deadline: May 18, 2007 Off-site manuscript development: August 13 to October 5, 2007 On-site residency: October 26 to November 17, 2007 Faculty/Program Editors: Marni Jackson, Tony Whittome In this unique residency program, six participating writers each delve into a writing project (essay, memoir, biography, feature article, or book project) on a topic in the area of mountain culture, mountain environment, mountain life, adventure, climbing, and/or mountain history. Within the spectacular setting of Banff National Park, the residency offers participants the time, privacy, and editorial resources to focus on their proposed pieces. Writers participating in the program will work in a diverse and creative environment, interacting with other mountain writers and editors in group discussions and individual consultations, as well as with invited guest speakers and artists from other fields. The Banff Centre is situated amid the Canadian Rocky Mountains in Canada's first national park - an ideal location for a residency that explores the mountain experience. In addition to working on their writing projects, participants have the opportunity for outdoor pursuits including hiking, rock and ice climbing, cross-country and downhill skiing, and photography. Financial assistance may be available.
