Mount Chephren in Winter

On this day, the weather forecast called for cloudy skies and possible snow-rain but Jasper called for clear blue skies. Knowing that Jasper was over 250km away I woke up with my friend Martha at 5am to capture a full day of pictures. Unfortunately the Icefield Parkway was not serviced this morning which made the 5 hour trip very dangerous as you were restrained to only using one lane in unplowed snow.

Despite it being -26C, the trip was well worth it as the skies were clear as predicted and I was able to take this beautiful photo of Mt Chephren in our first stop around 9AM.

 

En mi primer dia en Banff el pronostico era malo, dia nublado y lluvioso. Anunciaban que Jasper estaria bonito con cielo azul. Decidi madrugar y manejar mas de tres horas en completa oscuridad para ir a jasper que queda a 250 km de Banff. Fue mi mejor decision, el sol salio, el cielo completamente azul y y yo estaba feliz de verme por primera vez en un paisaje invernal tan hermoso. Esta fue mi primera parada en el Icefield Parkway, el cual estaba muy dificil de manejar ya que no lo habian limpiado y habia que seguir las huellas de los demas vehiculos por un solo carril lo que dificultaba avanzar en esas condiciones. La temperatura de -26 Celsius. Fue un dia inolvidable y tengo las mejores tomas a lo largo del Camino.

 

As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments and visits
