Although I never saw any actual 'locations' - we were in a car and the tour was to Banff, not Unforgiven locations, it was simply nice to experience that landscape for real as one of the things I like about Unforgiven is the wonderful cinematography, so all in all, a nice surprise even if a bit embarrasing that I didn't realise sooner that I was subconsciously doing a pilgramige to the location of one of my favourite movies... ahem.

Unforgiven land
So, I went to Calgary and had a fantastic time meeting up with a nutty friend. We were there to go to a comic expo, where we met some cool folk and I now own a sketch of Futurama's 'Bender' as drawn by one of the show's artists, yes, very cool.
However, on a day trip out of the city to Banff, as we literally left Calgary I began to notice a familiar surround... I was suddenly in 'Unforgiven' territory and had totally forgotten the film was shot in Alberta! Yes, doofus I know, but the tour guide was very nice and pointed out a lot of the location areas as we headed out to Banff.
