It is time to post an image that you have salvaged from your archives or recently processed images. Mine is from my archives circa the late 1990's. I am not sure why I didn't post this on my website at the time I made it, but it just sat there unobserved for all these years. I only discovered...

This lake is a real beauty. It was found and named by British guide Tom Wilson not the American cartoonist of Ziggy fame. He called it Emerald Lake because the water is greener than the other famous lakes in the Canadian Rockies. He had previously named another lake with this moniker but...

This was taken from the shoreline. I wanted to try and show that the rockpile isn't the only place to take an image there. There were hundreds of people swarming the rockpile. I didn't want any part of that dumpster fire. Even here I had to clone six people out of the image.
