Sadie and I drove through the Icefield Parkway a few year ago in Jasper NP, Alberta. This is a composite of 6 or 8 images made with my camera held vertically. Having been there I feel like it really captures the valley. The Athabascan glacier in seen just to the right of center dripping down from the Columbia Icefield. When we were there they had signs for every decade where the glacier was. It has receded alot, even since the 80's.
