From shorts to snow!

The temperature dropped sharply and I went from wearing shorts to heavy winter clothing almost overnight! Today I had a most amazing trip into the high altitude of Glacier National Park, Montana. It's a truly amazing park, and I can't wait to spend more time there!

Banff & Jasper

My trip west continues well. Only catch has been that large forest fires in southern BC and Washington have caused hazy skies in the mountains - so I've had few windows of good light.
Here are a few from Banff & Jasper National Parks.
I'm now back in Waterton Lakes for a couple days and targeting black bears.... cross your fingers for me!
cheers....

into the mountains - Waterton Lakes

After several days in the very dusty prairies, I was quite happy to get into the mountains of Alberta and give my car and camera a thorough cleaning. Here are a few shots from Waterton Lakes National Park plus one (me jumping on the round rock) from a small, but amazing spot called Red Rock Coulee.
It's been quite hazy, so I've been relying heavily on my Singh-Ray Gold & Blue polarizer and a host of grad NDs to help bring some color to the washed out skies.

I have to include my standard disclaimer here... that these have been balanced on my laptop in poor conditions - hope they look decent!

cheers!
