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.

another in a series of north american forests. aspen groves in the fall always have this incredible light in them. the snow reflects the golden light back up onto the trunks making the whole forest glow. this grove was just off the road on one of the high passes just north of capitol reef national park. dixie national forest UT.

the ibex range is just west of whitehorse and lucky for me the sun had been rising for an hour or so expanding that "magic light" window we shutterbugs love
