Moraine lake Wide Angle
The day before www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/21903663148 I hastily went to Moraine Lake. I had seen so many pictures already before that I could not wait to see this splendid lake. And magnificent it was, and I spent hours to make pictures over and over again. I used all my different lenses, trying to do not only the classic shots. And then comes the difficult part, what to show! I already showed a 50 mm panorama (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/23168079499).
The shot here is taken with my Sigma 8-16mm lens to give the widest possible view. In my effort to make a unique picture I stumbled over floating logs, that turned out te be not as stable as it had looked, and with one leg in the water, I got stuck between two logs. There you are with all your camera gear, and the possibility of falling into the water, but in the end I managed to free myself with a bleeding wound as a reward. But everything for a nice picture heh..
From 11 June till the 25th of July, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.
And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. From there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).
4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery guarantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.
