Clouded Castle

Some light breaks thru the cloud cover to illuminate a portion of Banff's iconic Castle Mountain.

 

"The mountain was named in 1858 by James Hector for its castle-like appearance. From 1946 to 1979 it was known as Mount Eisenhower in honour of the World War II general Dwight D. Eisenhower. Public pressure caused its original name to be restored, but a pinnacle on the southeastern side of the mountain was named Eisenhower Tower (at front here)." Wiki

 

Thanks for taking a look!
