Hi Dave, that are indeed very fine photos of a super area I could spend weeks there. In 10 days or so, it depends on how the season progresses I'll go up the Icefields Parkway for a couple of days.

legacyb4 · 09-05-2009, 07:28 PM

Wow, I really like #3, #7, & #8 and how the mountains are "layered" with different tones!

**Kerrowdown** · 09-06-2009, 02:10 AM

Great shots, looks like loads of walking involved.

Thansk Jeff that is one of my favorites as well. Unfortunatley the haze in the air was comming from all the forest fires in the interior , but it helped in this shot.

Thansk Kerrowdown - you would be surprised. Most of these were taken from a Gondola ride , or driving off the main highway on some of the dirt roads.

**Marc Langille** · 09-06-2009, 05:47 AM

Agreed about the color and tonal changes on the mountain slope profile shots. Nice layering effect due to the atmospheric conditions!

Great series Dave!

Regards,
Marc
