Mount Rundle

Lot easier heading for work in the morning when there is a chance to come across this type of  view. The Bow River is across my way when heading for work, the conditions were such, the sky was set to light up. I had plenty of time before work started, so I stopped along the river to take few pictures.

Cascade Mountain

When your home is in a beautiful national park, you don't have far to see the beauty.  It had been snowing on the mountains and raining in the valley. I woke up to overcast weather and low clouds moving through the valley, soon with the rising sun things started to clear. I left home early, to make my way to work and having enough time in hand in case I needed to stop to take pictures. The sunlight was now lighting up the fall colours in the Central Park. Having my gear in the back-pack, within few minutes only few hundred meters from home,  I got  busy taking pictures. Home sweet home.

For over a day rain and snow was falling from the sky and the mountains were hiding in the clouds. Then one evening the clouds started to move out before the sun left for the day. It was not until next morning Mount Rundle was fully visible, but enough was exposed that evening to see it covered with new snow.

The Monarch

The goal was to get closer to the mountain The Monarch and take picture of it before hiking up to the ramparts and heading back. But after I left this small lake, it got darker and wind picked up, rain was on its way. It was time to head back the same way I arrived there. I was happy I stopped at this unnamed lake to get few pictures of the mountain and the larches.

Sunshine Meadows

It was jut last week in the morning when it looked bit like winter, much of what was front me was covered by snow. But the fall colours still popped through, in this case in the form of the golden larch needles. The snow started to melt soon after I took this picture, as the clouds moved out of the way and the sun pushed through. Winter is still far off.

It often happens with sunrises, just when it looks as if nothing is going to take place, the sky lights up. That was the case few weeks ago, the morning sky caught on fire lasting several minutes. It's why you have to get out there to take advantage of unexpected.

Herbert Lake

Daylight was coming to an end when I had arrived to the shores of Herbert Lake. The water calmed down and the sky and the land started to reflect off the water. The sky was crazy, filled with clouds, in the distance on the slopes of the mountains the golden yellow larches could be seen and as well the fall colours were present along the shores of the lake. The lake sits next to a road, I looked ahead at the beautiful view, forgetting the vehicles passing just meters from me.

Cable Mtn

I was back along the Bow River during the evening, this time to take pictures of Castle Mtn. The sun is starting to move toward the south, helping to create better images of the mountain. Each day the light will only get better, giving me even more reasons to be out there.

Even after seeing several hundred sunrises, I still enjoy the new one as if it was the first one. They are never the same, there are so many factors that make up a sunrise and in the end each factor varies to create a unique sunrise.

The Monarch

I waited and then watched as the sun rose behind me and soon after light up The Monarch front of me. The water was still front of me in the small lake, helping create  a reflection of the mountain that lies on the border between Alberta and British Columbia. After taking few pictures, it was then time to go for my hikes.

Sunshine Meadows

I was visiting the Sunshine Meadows, the weather was great and the views even more so. The flowers are out and more coming up, will be helped by the bright weather the next several days. Being above 2200 meters in elevation, there is not a bad view in any direction.

Sundance Range

The days are long and there is always something to take pictures of, flora, fauna and landscapes are providing endless photography opportunities.  There is time before work, after work and on days off the hardest part is deciding what not to take pictures of. Sometime I think it would have been lot easier if I just took pictures of mammals, or just birds, or just be into landscape photography. But it's hard to choose one from others, the challenge is fun and this way  it's very rare returning home without any pictures. And most of all it's a great way to learn how all parts of nature are connected.

There was still few hours of sunlight, but the view front of me was beautiful, just asking me to start taking its pictures. I thought then the images would look better in black and white, with the lit up Mount Rundle, clouds in the sky and the moon clearly visible. I was happy it worked out that way.
