A cold morning spent few days back along 93 North, enjoying the quietness of the morning along the lake, watching the sunlight makes its way into the valley.

Cascade Mountain
Cascade Mtn does not get the same attention as does Mount Rundle across the Bow Valley. This evening I decided to pay some respect with the fall colours in the foreground.

Mount Hector
Cool weather is moving into the valley, while it rains in the valley but on some of the higher peaks snow falls. Most of the fallen snow will melt away but more is around the corner.

Smokey Landscape
The winds are sending the smoke from the largest wildfires in Washington State through the Bow Valley. I have been trying to get pictures of the Sun and the landscape as the smoke passes through. This images a sense of what the viability is like and the interesting landscapes the smoke s creating.

Castle Mountain
Picture of Castle Mountain from a different view. Had to fight of mosquitoes to get the picture and then I had to make my way out of there before the storm in the distance reached me. All part of nature photography.

Mount Rundle
No luck with a picture of the meteor shower, but had some luck with star trails pictures. I was taking 15 second long pictures, hoping to catch one or two images with meteors. I got to see several but none made the frame of my pictures. So I decided to combine the 15 second images to make the one posted.

Mount Rundle
I did not think the sky was going to light up with warm colours while I waited along Two Jack Lake, but it did just less then a minute before the wind took away the calm water. Luck was on my side.

Mount Rundle
Was back at the Vermilion Lakes to take pictures of Mount Rundle during a sunrise. I never get tired of taking pictures there, knowing I will always come back with something I like. Most of the landscapes pictures I have taken there have been during the mornings. The calm water, Mount Rundle and colourful sky go well together, no exception the last time I was out there.

Boom Mountain
This picture was taken in the morning, fog over the meadow and a storm in the distance quickly moved over the valley. In most cases its theses small windows of opportunities between the weather events where I get the interesting pictures.

Columbia Icefield
The weather is always different around the Columbia Icefield, thanks to ice. While elsewhere the summer was full on, the morning and the afternoon I was enjoying the extreme beauty of the area. It felt more like early spring then summer.

Mount Rundle
Just over an hour ago I was returning home, when I decided to stop over the Vermilion Lakes. A storm was moving in, creating a dramatic sky. The best spot was where few people were taking their own pictures, I decided to include them in mine.

Rainbow over Mount Rundle
Rain was coming but I headed outside anyway, behind the rain clouds was sunshine pushing through. Thanks to the weather pattern, double rainbow soon followed.

Mount Rundle
Crazy weather helps create dramatic skies. A storm had passed, leaving behind scattered clouds about an hour before the sunset. And with calm water, it was hard not to get a nice picture.

Northern Lights
It was the night of Northern Lights. With the warm weather it was not hard to time outside taking in the lights and taking as any pictures I could.

I was at Two Jack Lake to take a pictures of the sunrise, there were two geese in the area, one in and one out of water. Just as I was about to take the pictures, the goose on the land walks into the lake, causing ripples. But after few minutes it found a position it liked and stop moving. They stayed still, just occasionally staring at me while I took the pictures.

Milky Way over Banff
I was watching the Lunar Eclipse taking place when I looked toward my right. As the Earth's shadow started to cover the moon, I was starting to see the Milky Way. I had to modify my plans of just taking the pictures of the eclipse, our galaxy was coming into play. The darker it got the better I was able to see it, so after taking few pictures of the eclipse, I moved over twenty meters and grabbed few 30 seconds images of the Milky Way going over the town of Banff.

Left where most were watching and taking pictures of the Northern Lights to a quite place. I decided to to do long exposures to create star trails, but there is always a chance one takes. In this case others playing a role in the picture unintentionally. In this case a car leaving on the right. I decided to let it be part of the end picture.
Cheers,
Amar
Massive Range
After a morning and a day full of adventures, it was a good way to end the day. Watching the sunset over the Massive Range along the Bow River. Found a small pool of water along the running water, providing the reflection I needed.

Mount Rundle at Night
Mount Rundle at night from the other week. Did not get to get out at night as much as I had hoped, but the few times I did I was happy with the result. The ice I was standing on and also what you see is no longer there, the warm weather has taken it away. Which will provide other opportunities for picture taking, always have to adapt to the changes.

Mount Rundle and Star Trails
One time or another we all looked up toward the dark sky and tried to count the stars. Growing up in the city you would think there are not many, the city lights making it difficult except for the bright ones to be seen. Here in the Banff National Park all that changed, there seems to be no end to how many can be seen on a clear dark night. Just in our galaxy the Milky Way along a conservative estimate is that are at least hundred billion stars. Beyond Milky Way there are at least hundred billion more galaxies, that's lot of fingers needed to count them all.
