Saddle Mountain in Banff Park Alberta. The photo was taken by Morant's Curve parking lot after a long afternoon taking pictures of the trains on the curve in the mountains. There was better light on the far landscape.

November is a little bare after the fall colours. I'm looking back at older files. This is Lions Gate at the Downhill House in Castlerock N. Ireland. There was a car leaving the parking lot and the headlights swept over the gate as I took this night photo.

Under a starry sky, two wide carved stone gateposts with lion statues on top are light painted with a bright sidelight that shows carving detail and texture on the posts.

This is Ashlar Ridge in Jasper Park. This photo was taken alongside the cabins by the hot springs. The road to Miette Hot Springs this year was still down to one lane in a section because of a landslide.

This is around Talbot Lake in Jasper Park Alberta. An unnamed mountain close to Capital mountain. I have my Nikon 100 to 400mm lens on the Z50II. I'm hoping to see wildlife, but on a clear day with great light....

This is Roche Ronde in Jasper Park. I climbed up the side of Hwy 16 by the old Fitzhugh Lime mine in the evening. The Aspen trees were too dense for a sweeping landscape shot across the river but I managed this on the way down.

Athabasca River by Morro Slabs and Hwy 16 in Jasper Park Oct 1 2025. The fires last year were extensive around the town of Jasper. A few trails still have to be cleared before they are open again (such as the Valley of the Five Lakes).
