The International Traditional Games Society is a non-profit organization located in East Glacier, Montana, dedicated to promoting the preservation and celebration of traditional games from around the world. The society was founded in 1993 by Tad and Liza Wise, who were inspired by their travels to remote regions of the world where traditional games were still played.

The society organizes events and workshops that bring together people from different cultures to share their traditional games and learn from each other. They also publish books and other educational materials on traditional games and promote their use in schools and other educational settings.

One of the society's major events is the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics, which is held annually in Fairbanks, Alaska. This event brings together indigenous peoples from around the world to compete in traditional games such as the blanket toss, the ear pull, and the seal hop.

The International Traditional Games Society also works closely with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote the recognition and preservation of traditional games as an important part of cultural heritage.

Overall, the society is a unique organization that is dedicated to preserving and celebrating traditional games from around the world, and promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.

Mystical trees 2023 Waterton National Park (in the Canadian Rockies) is one of my favourite places on the planet. We were all dismayed when the wildfires roared through the park in 2017. I was reluctant to visit since then, fearing the loss of the mountain forest. Forest fires are important to the ecology, but they can be a bit sad too. (And amazing that almost all the buildings were saved). . But I had two opportunities to visit this year, one at the beginning of the summer, one at the end. The burnt standing trees, silvery white against the shadow of the mountain, caught my eye the first visit, but I missed the shot in the fleeting light. . So when last week, I was back up near the Crandell Mountain Campground (still closed) in the late afternoon, I caught the last of the sun on these trees. . Magical. _F054233
Halfway to Heaven A shot from the majestic Glacier National Park, which I rank as #2, after Yellowstone, of the USA national parks. I should admit that I've only been to about half of them. I took this back in July, during my summer road trip. You can see the road below, which we'd come up from, and the road to the left is where we would be going next. The road, by the way, is called "Going to the Sun Highway".
