Moraine Lake Sunrise

One of the most beautiful (and photographed) lakes in Canada, Moraine Lake.

Lake Minnewanka Sunrise

There is something about a huge mountain reflection in a lake that just puts you at ease. Here is another picture from my trip to the Canadian Rockies. Lake Minnewanka at Sunrise.

Standing Around Two Jack Lake

This was my second time photographing two Jack Lake, the first time was 5 years earlier when I was still really working on learning photography. So I was looking forward to going back to the same spot to see what better photos I could get now that I have a lot more experience. Five years ago I had the spot to myself, alone with the sunrise, but this time when I arrived there was a photography class already setup with tripods where I shot last time and a half dozen other small groups of photographers lining the lake. So, I took a walk around the lake until I was far enough away that I could see or hear anyone else and captured this photo while I was enjoying the sunrise.

Lucerne Lake Morning

Took this at sunrise at Lucerne lake which is an amazing little campsite not far from Jasper, Alberta, Canada.

Waterton Rivers

Took this photo alongside a river just outside of our campground (Crandell Mountain Campground), our last night there. Banff and Jasper get all the attention in the Canadian rockies but Waterton Lakes National Parks has just as beautiful scenery.

Wood Bison

Found this guy eating on the side of the road in Elk Island National Park. Wood bison are the largest land animals in North America and wouldn't have dreamed getting this close if I wasn't taking a photo through an open window from my vehical.

Checking out the view in Dinosaur provincial park in Alberta.

Alone with the Gnats

This photo was taken at Dinosaur Provincial park in Alberta, Canada. I took it on a beautiful warm evening, it was about 28 degrees as the sun went down. The reason I am wearing a long sleeve jacket and long pants is because of the bugs, there were swarms of gnats and misquotes that would bite any piece of exposed skin if I stood any one place for too long. So, I didn't stand there for long but the park is amazingly beautiful despite the bugs.

Alberta Badlands View

This is me checking out the crazy rock formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park in the Alberta Badlands last summer.

Smoky Vermilion Lakes

Another photo from Banff as the smoke rolled in over Vermillion Lakes.

Astotin Lake Sunset

I took this selfie at Elk Island National Park just outside of Edmonton, Alberta. I was hoping for a few more clouds in the sky to catch the light of the sunset but was happy to find a relaxy place to enjoy the beauty.

Share the Chair

These red chairs were placed all over Canada's national parks for the 150th anniversary of Canada. This is one of the sets in Elk Island National park.

Summer Long Weekends

The first long weekend of the summer is almost over and I have the urge to start posting photos again. I don't do as much photography over the winter so don't post as many photos but now that summer is here I will be out taking more photos. Here is one from last year.

Astotin Lake Sunset

Elk Island National Park does not get the fan fair of the other big parks in Alberta like Banff and Jasper but it is a beautiful place ot spend a couple of days with beautiful sunsets.
