Snow had stopped falling during one late morning, the clouds were moving out and evaporation was taking place, giving the impression that Castle Mtn was on fire.

The sun was setting and the sky was full of cirrus clouds. I needed to take care of few things before I could make my way to the Vermilion Lakes to take pictures of the sunset. The sunlight was off the mountains and was just starting to light up the clouds when I arrived at the lakes. Nature provided plenty of time for me to enjoy the colours and to take pictures.

For few days we were middle of a snow storm, lots of snow and heavy winds were the common theme. But the storm did pass and the sky did open up. Took the picture during that time. Next day the snow started to melt as we went from winter to spring like weather.

The temperature was about minus 23 degree Celsius and I was standing next to the Bow River looking for a spot to take a picture of Castle Mountain. The challenge was not surviving the cold morning temperature, but to find the picture before the light changed. The adrenaline of getting the picture kept me warm and that picture was being on my knees while balancing the tripod on thin ice, so I could get the reflection of the mountain in the still water along the river.

There are days were its hard getting outside. But if you make the effort, nature will make it worth it.

I was few days late to see the wolves that passed by the area I was walking on, only their tracks were left behind. I was looking for a spot to take pictures of Castle Mountain as the sun set, decided to include some of the tracks in the picture.

Stood on top of Two Jack Lake, with heavy winds pushing the heavy snow over the ice. I waited for the sun to make its way up. Once the sunlight started to light up the coluds, I took my pictures.

Sometimes nature makes it too easy to get a picture, The snow storm had subsided and the sky started to open up, the morning light was high lighting Pilot Mountain. Everywhere I looked , the ground, the trees and the mountains were covered with fresh fallen snow. It was winter wonderland. In no time I had my picture.

I first seen the Morant's Curve before I moved to Banff National Park through a picture of Nicholas Morant a staff photographer with Canadian Pacific Railway some time back. Have passed the area on the Bow Valley Parkway several hundreds of times. Taken picture of the area with and without the train, this picture was taken after a snow fall.

Few days back a big snow storm was going through the Bow Valley. I was walking along the Vermilion Lakes Road. On my return from end of the road, the snow stopped falling and I decided to take this picture.

Relatively speaking, it has been a warm winter in the Rockies. Frozen water I would not even think twice about walking over in previous winters, this winter I had to slow down there and access the risk more carefully. I did not have lot of time, I wanted to quickly make my way over to the area where the lake gives its water back to the river. There with the running water I wanted to take the picture of the sunrise. Making my way around thin ice, I made it to the spot, then took the pictures and after some exploring followed my tracks back.

The pictures I was getting of Mount Rundle, kept the cold from the night away. Day or night, its a beautiful mountain to take a picture of at any time.

Sometime you're forced into a situation of having limited tools and trying to come up with something worth keeping. Few weeks back I had just my compact camera and I was looking at a grizzly bear. Not having more then three time zoom on the camera, I decided to show the sense of scale of this beautiful bear to its surroundings. Other then during mating season and the odd encounters with other bears, this grizzly lives in isolation, travelling throughout the mountains.

Always a good way to end a hike is coming back with a picture to remember the hike. In this case the hike was the short Marsh Loop hike and the picture was of the Massive Range.

Few weeks back spent a morning along the Vermilion Lakes taking pictures of a sunrise. I thought the light was going to be flat, but before long some colour shows up to help out.

One of the mountain I like to take pictures of again and again, Castle Mountain. The week before the river had frozen over, it was opening up, but still enough ice to make the picture interesting.

Middle of the night, all bundle up and standing next to open water. Could just make out the northern lights to my right and the town light coming up front of me. The northern lights were not going to spread any further, so I just went about playing with the camera's setting and kept taking pictures. Playing with the sensitivity of the sensor and taking exposures 10 to 20 seconds long. When happy with the results, it was time to head for a warm bed.

Days are getting shorter, providing lot of time to go out and take pictures in the night before bed time. Being cold, all you need is to throw on a few layers and grab a trusty headlamp. Oh yeah, need a camera and a tripod. Then set up the equipment, put it on manual and play with the setting until you start getting something interesting on the camera's display and go from there.

Zoom lens were made for zooming. Was too far away from Mount Edith Cavell to use my landscape lens to help the mountain to stand out in the picture. So pulled out my mid-zoom lens and closed in.

A picture form Jasper, taken along the Athabasca River during a sunrise. I'll have to get back there soon and take picture with the snow that has fallen recently. A beautiful area.
