Interesting.

As Dorothy might have said in The Wizard of Oz, "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Adelaide anymore."

Lake Louise (Alberta, Canada) on an overcast day. 1/125 at f/5.6, ISO 100.

Sir Les you are certainly a bit far from your normal haunts, but I see you are staying on the Queen's soil.

[RichNY]

Stunning view and image!

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

Have a great holiday Les

Great Pic Les! Looks like a great place to stay, cool crisp and inviting.
Here is a shot of one of the Egrets that have shown up this year after an absence of a year. One of a 4 bird family (?) group.

Nicely done, Falconest!

Thanks guys. To get that shot I had to climb up a steep path for 1.6km in light rain. The things we do for our hobby!

Canada is amazing in its variety. If you'll pardon the indulgence, here are a few samples.

The sun reflects from the snow on the mountains along the Icefields Highway between Jasper and Lake Louise:


The icy, foreboding chill of the Athabasca Glacier (it was very cold on the ice!):


The Victorian splendour and luxury of The Banff Springs Hotel:


Taking tea on the terrace of the hotel, overlooking the Bow River and the Rockies stretching away into the distance. Superb!


And to kgosden: we're heading your way next!

Sir Les;
Wonderful pics, wish I was there. <Green with envy>
Could have used some of the glacial cool here, the last few days. Temps in the 90's F with humidity to match.
