Are there any better images? More than the photo shoot?

How is it suggestive of the Ferret being at Parliament Hill?
Do the buildings, 3/4 tons, and M113A1 in the background suggest otherwise?
Could it be the deployment to Camp Bouchard in response to protect 34 CFAD? Or a component of Op ‘ESSAY’ ?
