Patricia Lake Jasper Alberta.

What normally would have been a 3 and a half hour drive to Jasper became a 7 hr drive due to very Icey road conditions I came upon this lake which was frozen over with ice but the ice was crystal clear, I could see clear to the bottom of the lake , amazing , usually lake ice is just solid white.. As I set up for the photos a whisp of cloud settled in front of the mountain as if on que . you can make out the rocks through the ice.

Moraine Lake

Lake Miniwanka Banff Alberta.

As clouds pass over head light from the town of Banff reflects off of the clouds and onto the water giving a nice fiery glow.

Lake Miniwanka Banff Alberta.

A popular tourist spot in Banff Alberta, this spot is crawling with tourist during the day, but in the wee hours of the morning just the odd kook like myself comes out. After many disappointing trips to this location weather wise I finally got my clear sky, and even had some help from the Northern Lights.

Mt Michener and the Milky Way

At a location along the Kline River on the edge of the Canadian Rockies known as " Windy Point " and they weren't kidding , had I been wearing a toupee it would have wound up on the summit of Mitchener, I managed to put together a panorama of this gorgeous scene of Mitchener , the Milky Way, several shooting stars, the Andromeda galaxy, and a star I believe is Sirus making a cool silhouette reflection of the mountain peak onto the water.

Beaver Dam Pond Nordegg Alberta

A bright star or possibly one of our planets shines through the trees and makes a neat shadow reflection on the surface of Beaver Dam Lake.

Last gasp at summer.

On a crisp September night hardy campers are determined to spend just one more night under the milky way along the Kline River in the Canadian Rockies.

Northern Lights over Talbot Lake
