Road to the Rockies!

One of very few moments when the sun was shining allowing us to actually capture an image or two. We were on our way back from Jasper and had seen this s-curve on our way out. Certainly proved to be a great opportunity. The only problems were related to traffic. Cars and Buses were traveling both ways and the timing had to be perfect.

First Post - Sheeesh!

Wow! Finally have an opportunity to post from my trip to the Canadian Rockies. Arrived safely last Friday evening and found no internet access and no cell phone coverage. We stayed at the Crossings between Bow Lake and Jasper. All week we experienced overcast skies, rain, snow (5") and poor lighting. Here is a post from Tangle Falls near the Icefields. Since it was cloudy we spent a lot of time on waterfalls. So most of my posts will be similar to the above image. Sitting at the Super 8 in Calgary and will be departing tomorrow at 8 am.

Lake Moraine

This Friday I am off, once again, to the Canadian Rockies. Our plans are to travel more towards Jasper than in the past to capture some images we have yet to get in our sites. This morning shot of Lake Moraine is just a sample of the many photo opportunities that wait for us during the next week. I will keep you posted on our progress as long as there is a wireless network nearby.
