aka "Stillness" Here is another one from my most recent escapade to Mt. Seymour. The accompanying silence disturbed from time to time by the burst of the sunlight was bringing to life all the elements of the landscape: the snow was becoming more vivid, the trees were turning into quasi-alive...

This was taken in autumn a couple of years ago. The biggest hazard getting to this spot is fighting through the tour bus crowds. Still well worth a visit! I liked the light on Mount Kerkeslin and the clouds framing it. The challenge was controlling the dynamic range so I took several exposures...

In this winter season, la Nina seems to have a profound influence on the West Coast of Canada. The snow conditions are already pretty good and local mountains bring excellent opportunities for winter photography. In this photo, I captured a scene that I was endowed with during one of the quick...

Generally I like to exclude the works of humans in my landscape shots, but there is something about the open road that really appeals to me. The association of a path or road through an image also helps the viewer traverse the scene, a way in so to speak. Plus driving is a part of my DNA:) This...

Auyuittuq National Park is all about ice. Ice is an inseparable element of Arctic’s paysage. It is present there in various forms, regardless of the season. Icebergs are just one of its creations. When we reached the end of the fjord, we were astonished by the quantity and size of these floating...

Shown on the last "Friday Focus" Reflections, seemed to hold viewers gaze a bit.

How many oddly shaped peaks can you see from one viewpoint and include on one photograph? In my opinion, many and this is exactly what I was trying to showcase in this photo. But let me assure you, it is only a small fragment of the entire oddly shaped mountain range. Interestingly enough, these...

This was taken in January in Banff, at about the same time/location as this one along the Bow River http://www.focalworld.com/index.php?threads/bow-river-snow-bumps.1734/. The beautiful sunrise to the east provided some nice warm light on the mountain to contrast the cold below it. Any thoughts...

Looking north at the stream draining Lake Maligne, arrived late from Jasper because of all the sites coming up the road...What beautiful country...

Between the Cliffs This is the view from the hill above the town of Pangnirtung on Baffin Island. The end of this fjord was our pickup point after two weeks long hike across the island. Just after a warm shower (the first one in two weeks), a good meal and a night spent in a real bed, my energy...

From a few years ago in Churchill, Canada.

An autumn morning at Lake Louise in Banff National Park. The trees lining the outlet stream did a really nice job of obscuring the many other people along the shoreline that morning. Any thoughts are welcome.

I made the trip to Abraham Lake, north of Banff, last January to take my shot at the ice bubbles. Now that I've been there, I'll be much more prepared for my next attempt. All of these are focused stacked. As always, any thoughts are welcome. 1) Actually my last comp of the day and taken after...

Lower Kananaskis Lake

I found this crack in the ice at Abraham Lake in January and couldn't resist sticking my lens in it! This is a focus stack. Any thoughts are welcome.
