There are places in this world that have a surreal, mystical quality to them. Spirit Island, which technically is not an island but a peninsula on Maligne Lake in Jasper N.P. Alberta, is one of those rare places. Only accessible by boat tour or a 14km canoe paddle, it is a place held sacred by...

I had sat through off and on rain and overcast clouds thinking I wouldn't get a decent shot. But then the clouds parted, the sun came out, and I was treated to this gorgeous view. At Two Jack Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.

This summer, I checked off a "bucket-list" item and visited the Canadian Rockies with my wife. One of the locations I was most excited to visit was iconic Moraine Lake. As expected, it was crowded, but there was plenty of room to move around on the rock pile. This is the first image I...

I lied over on the anniversary tread about posting this shot previously, it's been in my photo galley here for a while, but not posted on the posting forum. From the top of the rock pile, Moraine Lake. From the Top of the Rock Pile by Zeph posted Oct 27, 2017 at 10:11 PM C&C Welcome

Hiked down this road a couple miles, it eventually became a deer path. C&C Welcome

Most of what I post here is from an era consisting shots taken from '05 thru '15 after that time, I've been hard at work with my day job, playing out my exit strategy. Hopefully things work out so I can have the time to appreciate the finer things like photography. This shot along Alberta...

Looking north to where Medicine Lake should be. This large drainage lake that shrinks to river bottom except during the intense snow melt that happens in June/July. There a huge amount of water enters the Alberta aquifer. The gray rock in the mountains is amazing... Medicine for the Soul by Zeph...

Came across this shot, along the Bow River. It's amazing that this water ultimately drains into the Hudson Bay...

Camped at the Columbia Icefield campground, took a short hike down to one of the creeks that the Wilcox creek feeds into. Wilcox creek flows from, of all places, Wilcox Pass, a popular mountaineering trail. My hike didn't produce any epic shots but sure had fun. Looking South West View...

Literally peak glacial runoff at it’s undiluted melted whiteness in late September. Weird to work with that color in post.
