Maligne Lake Boathouse...waiting for daybreak
In the summer, nights are shorter and daybreak is earlier than the rest of the year. With sunrise set for 5:37am, one needs to be in place more than the usual one hour prior to sunrise, for the first light. As can be seen here, with the first image as I arrived, taken at 4:24am. It was very difficult to get to this location, especially following an intense day of driving long distances, the day before. The drive from Jasper to the lake is approximately one hour. The drive is in the middle of the night, on a road full of animals crossing signs. Five minutes after this shot, the magic was gone. As the fog cloud cover wrapped the glacier in the distance, the warm light from the boathouse faded into the blue. To me, part of the charm is in the golden light, against the cool backdrop of the lake and mountains. This continues to be one of the most heartwarming corners, I've been to. A piece of my heart will always be here.
Have a blessed Sunday!
En el verano, las noches son cortas y los amaneceres mas temprano que el resto del año. Con el amanecer a las 5:37am, se necesita estar en el lugar al menos una hora antes, para poder captar la magia de esa primera luz. Como se puede apreciar, esta imagen la tome a las 4:24am, despues de una hora de manejar desde Jasper. Es difícil manejar en la oscuridad, con muchos letreros de animales cruzando el camino. Todo despues de un día muy intenso, manejando largas distancias.
Cinco minutos despues de esta fotografía, la magia se habia ido. Al crecer la neblina, que en principio solo era una franja en el Glaciar, acabo por cubrirlo todo. La luz dorada y tibia de la casita se convirtio en azul y fria. Este es uno de mis rincones favorito en Las Rocosas. Siempre ocupara un lugar muy especial en mi corazón.
Tengan un Feliz Domingo!
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments and visits.
