What timing!
On our way from Banff to Lake Louise, we took the slower and more scenic route, the Bow Valley Parkway. Along the way is Morant's curve, which was first showcased by Nicholas Morant. You can see the appeal to this spot - both the Bow River and the train tracks have a lovely S-curve.
We were looking to see what the best angle was. My husband called me over to where he was as the view down the valley was really nice and showcased the S-curve of the train tracks and river well. As we were setting up our cameras to make some test shots, we heard the blast of a train horn. Ack! Time to quickly make sure the scene was composed correctly and focus.
Now, I've been having a hate relationship with trains at home. Here, I was actually happy to have a nice long train running by. Despite having to scramble a little, it was great timing. Who knows how long we would've had to wait for another train?
Have a great weekend, everyone!
