mountains

The year was 2010, my dear wife and I had been out for a couple of weeks of truck camping and getting to Aspen (area) had been a goal. The trip out east, had been mostly cloudless, but luckily enough, Maroon Bells makes it’s own clouds, the place is so easy to shoot even with a low water level...

After a wonderful week at a back-country ski lodge in the Selkirks (I'll do another post on that) I drove up along the Icefields Parkway for a few days of photography and skiing. It got down in the low teens at night, so I was glad to have two sleeping bags in my van. Back in my 20s I spent...

In this winter season, la Nina seems to have a profound influence on the West Coast of Canada. The snow conditions are already pretty good and local mountains bring excellent opportunities for winter photography. In this photo, I captured a scene that I was endowed with during one of the quick...

This is from Ice Lakes Basin in Colorado, I backpacked up in there with @Alisa this last summer. Over the last few years I have been shooting more of the high altitude locations in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado. I have spent time up at Blue Lakes, and decided to go explore Ice Lakes Basin...

For this Friday we will be focusing on Mountains. So please post a Mountain photo. Mine is from Glacier National Park of Mt Reynolds as twilight was just fading to night.

I made the obligatory stop at Conway Summit during a fall color trip to the Eastern Sierra a few years ago. The clouds coming in over the top of the peaks would soon close the passes, giving me a nice detour to get home. Any thoughts are welcome.

How many oddly shaped peaks can you see from one viewpoint and include on one photograph? In my opinion, many and this is exactly what I was trying to showcase in this photo. But let me assure you, it is only a small fragment of the entire oddly shaped mountain range. Interestingly enough, these...

I love the Tetons! Some friends and I Backpacked the Teton Crest Trail in 2015. My mom and I went there this last summer. When we arrived we couldn't even see them due to all the smoke from the fires burning in the other states. This was shot on our last morning there...CC is most welcomed on...

Between the Cliffs This is the view from the hill above the town of Pangnirtung on Baffin Island. The end of this fjord was our pickup point after two weeks long hike across the island. Just after a warm shower (the first one in two weeks), a good meal and a night spent in a real bed, my energy...

Even with all the clearcuts, it still looks good.

While at our cabin in So. Utah, I like trying different things, and this time it was panning! My interpretation of the forest.

This road heads out of Lizzie & Charlies RV Park in Marysville, Ut, heading to a dirt road that will take you to the top of Monroe Mountain. We rode this mountain for two days with our Polaris RZR's, what beauty there is up there. And yes, it was cold up there!

Tried something a little different. I wanted to capture the moment in the clouds. Weekend of 16th/17th September 2017

I took this on an autumn trip to Banff a couple of years ago. Sunrise at Moraine Lake was the first thing I did, and while it is always an amazing scene, the photos from that first morning lacked clouds. On the last day of my trip the forecast looked good so I drove back for another shot at it...
