Mount Rundle from Two Jack Lake

It was the morning before few hundreds would be jumping into the cold waters of Two Jack Lake, to participate in the first Banff National Park triathlon. I was there to take photos of the sunrise, with calm water and clouded sky, my personal preference. Clouds were moving through as the light highlighted different part of Mount Rundle. While I was taking pictures, a Raven and a gull kept flying front of me, giving me a challenge. Then a Bald Eagle came into the scene, made its way to the other side of the lake to perch on a tree. It picked a weak branch, made a circle over the lake and landed on a different tree. But too close to a Common Loon resting nearby on the lake, not happy, it started calling out. All this and a great sunrise, made for a very good morning.

Until next moment,

Two Jack Lake

Well, we woke to our first major snowfall in the Bow Valley this morning,and its only mid September. Many of the leave holding trees and shrubs felt the wait of the wet snow, fallen branches of all sizes can be seen around the valley and in some case the whole trees. In the evening I headed for Two Jack Lake to take pictures of the Failholme Range reflecting on the lake. I was happy to find shrubs by the lake, still holding their leaves. Produceing a nice contrast with the snow, as well as grounding the picture.

Until next moment,
