  Usage:  This chart is meant to be used as a companion to Darwin Wiggett's "How to Photograph the Canadian Rockies", and 
  not serve as a substitute, as there are details in the book which cannot be distilled to this level.  Hence, some interpretation  
  is required:    
   1)  For sunny days, partly cloudy would be suitable as well.      
   2) For the days that are specified both sunny and overcast, the best sunny times are noted with "IS" (If Sunny).    
   3)  Where Mr. Wiggett did not specify the season, I designated summer, but other seasons my be suitable; please refer to page 
        7 and 8 of the guide, as well as each individual detailed description.
