Well with the recent snowfall and more to come, here's one of the last picture before snow took over the peaks for the coming winter. A picture taken couple of weeks ago.

Mount Fryatt
Was visiting Jasper and what better way to start the day then to watch and take pictures of the sunrise. It always helps knowing the area and knowing which direction the sun is rising from and how the morning light will be touching the mountains. Then it was a matter of finding the right spot along the Athabasca River to ground the picture. As the days get shorter, the window for good light gets larger, made full use of it that morning.

Mount Saskatchewan
It was mid morning, the sky opened up and add drama to my view. With just few vehicles on 93 North, I stopped and stepped middle of the road to grab my picture.

Mtn Norquay
Another example of always having a camera in hand. While making my way to work, I had to stop and grab this picture along the Bow River. Always have to be ready, never know when the next moment will come into view.

Wapta Mountain
Few weeks back I was visiting Yoho National Park, taking pictures of a fall, then it was time to turn around and take pictures of the sunrise. The peaks were in the distance but the clouds really made this picture for me.

Mount Fryatt
Was out in Jasper National Park for the day, in the morning was taking picture as the sun rose while surrounded by the fall colours. Fall is a great season to take landscape pictures. The light gets better and the colours are beautiful on the valley floor.

Hilda Peak
In the mountains, the hard part is not taking another step, dealing with the weather, worrying about an encounter with wildlife or getting the camera out for a another picture. The hard part is heading home.

Mountains and Clouds
Was out in Jasper and had to stop to take this picture, it had black and white all over it.

Crowfoot Mountain
Was out watching the sun come up and light up Crowfoot Mountain. Normally the focus is on the glacier, I decided this time to feature the mountain.

Mount Rundle
Well, I popped over to the vermilion lakes during the night to take pictures. The water was calm and the sky full of clouds. The northern lights try to make appearance but quickly pulled back, perhaps another night.

Observation Peak
I seem to always have hard time reaching my final destination anytime I'm on the trail or on the road in the mountains, there's always something along the way to grab my attention. I was on my favourite road 93 North, looking at the beautiful sky. Still couple of hours before sunset, the light looked great on the mountains. Was coming to a spot where there was small pool of water, I told my self if the water was anywhere close to still, I was going to stop, walk over and take a picture. Well, it was that easy. Water was still enough, the light was great and I got my picture with the Observation Peak in the background.

Mount Rundle
It was the night the Northern Lights might have put on a show. Much of the sky was open the water was still, but the lights had other plans that night. That was okay, there were enough elements to make an image.

Pilot Mountain
Not a bad way to start the day of photography, clouds started to fill the sky and the water was still. Quickly made my way to the water to take the pictures before the mosquitoes did a number on me.

Mount Rundle
A picture taken middle of the night, the drama helped by the town of Banff lighting up Mount Rundle and the clouds above.
Mount Rundle
Town light illuminating Tunnel and Mount Rundle. A quite night filled with stars. The moon still behind Fairholme Range. Water clam reflecting what's above the lake.

Mount Rundle
Was having fun taking picture of Mount Rundle at night. The sky was clear, the clouds had moved on, so I started to look for another element to include in the picture. Looked around with my headlamp and saw the tree, rest was straight forward.

"Mommoth Peak"
Last year I learned from a former Parks Chief Naturalist Larry Halverson how a mountain in Kootenay National Park was locally named "Mommoth Peak" by a retired Park Warden Hans Fuhrer. Now every time I make my way into Kootenay, I have to look at that peak and being me, try to take a good picture of it as well. After many tries I was able to take a picture I wanted, and as a bonus while the moon was setting. In this picture the elephant is looking right and the moon is about to tickle its fancy.

Vermilion River
I'm missing the snow, winter for me is never as long as I like. But I have the pictures to remind when the snow was plenty and all over the place. Few weeks back I was in Kootenay National Park, enjoying a hike and taking pictures along Vermilion River.

Mount Rundle and Northern Lights
Few nights ago I was trying to take pictures of Northern Lights. The event did not last too long and the intensity was low as well. Nonetheless I came away with couple of good images.
Until next moment,

Mount Rundle
I'm not sure what the next few weeks hold, but with the warm weather we been getting, it looks as if winter has been pushed aside. So I better start posting all the winter shots I have. This picture was taken when the winter still had a grip in the mountains, when it was still safe to walk on Two Jack Lake.
Until next moment,
