Clouds over Cameron Lake
Cameron Lake, Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada (and a slice of the US)
From my spring 2022 trip to the Northwest--it's a Pano combining three photos taken with my Nikon D810. I didn't notice until the day after uploading this that the lightroom program for creating panoramas didn't do a very good job with the water (probably not the program's fault--the wind likely shifted slightly between shots making a perfect blending impossible). So, I did a little cloning and healing to improve the presentation. Still not perfect, but I don't think anyone would notice a problem unless the stupid photographer POINTED IT OUT! :-)
I was going to name this, "Icebergs Ahead" (for the tiny floating bits of ice) but decided on a more staid title ("staider" is more correct, but it just doesn't have a nice ring to it).
Though I like the clouds here, I would have liked a little more sun (the patches of sunlight seen here are actually shining through a very thin layer of clouds). But what I REALLY would have liked, is less wind. Some reflection on the water would have really improved the shot. But the wind continued to blow this day, and the sun was never really able to punch through.
Note the dead trees on the two hills framing the mountains. They had a terrible fire here in 2017.
A tiny distant portion of the lake is actually over the border with the US and is in Glacier National Park--as is much, perhaps all, of the distant mountain.
