From now on I’ll be posting short stories around a single photo or video. This will allow for much more content to share! It has been a long time since I last posted, so it’s time to play catch up!

This shot was taken from Moraine Lake Road after a long first full day in Canada. Somewhere around 14 hours at this point, where I drove all the way up to Jasper. This wasn’t even one of my top 5 shots that I was after that day, but after some editing, it has become one of my favorites!

The sun was just getting ready to set, and I had just seen Moraine Lake for the first time. I was starving, as I hadn’t eaten much that whole day. Some granola bars in the morning, and beef stew with some outstanding bread at Sunwapta Falls in Jasper for a late lunch.

What I love about this scene is that it is the essence of the Canadian Rockies. Raw, rugged, untouched wilderness. A dense pine forest in the foreground, with jagged mountains above, capped with a glacier and a light snow. Speckled among the pines on the upslope of the mountains are some golden larches, not far from losing their needles for the winter.

Ahhhh… I love autumn in the mountains!
