The Fairmont Banff Springs, formerly and commonly known as the Banff Springs Hotel, is a historic hotel located in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The entire town including the hotel, is situated in Banff National Park, a national park managed by Parks Canada. The hotel overlooks a valley towards Mount Rundle, both of which are situated within the Rocky Mountain mountain range. The hotel is located at an altitude of 1,414 metres (4,639 ft).
I really enjoyed the scramble up Mount Cory in Banff last weekend. Near the summit, when this photo was taken, the view towards Mount Rundle was almost the same angle as if one were standing down at Vermilion Lakes. It was cool to see such an iconic mountain from a new, yet familiar perspective. I loved the way clouds made shadows over the landscape as they moved lazily along too. Thanks for looking!
I might not have been lucky enough to get any kind of sky in this shot but I was fortunate to have someone stop their car on the far side of the river and point their headlights up the river lighting the steam coming off the water. I suspect he might have been another photographer deliberately lighting the waterfall that is right there.
I like the view of Banff, and particularly the Banff Springs Hotel from Mt Norquay Road. Although I was too late to catch the evening sun lighting the hotel, I still like the contrast between the last rays of sunlight and the deep shadows of the valley.

The sun paints its warm soft glow over Vermillion Lakes and surrounding mountains as it rises one fine morning.
This is home away from home for me. My family, my friends, so many memories in beautiful Banff. I finally decided to take a picture of the tourist trap sign.
Besides the tourists though, you can soak in the Hot Springs, Hit some awesome hiking trails, wander downtown, or even head over to the Trading post that has been a staple for at least a 100 years.
Either way.. I can safely say.. Banff is sincerely a gorgeous place to visit.

These were taken on a rushed visit to Banff. I was lucky enough to get to visit Calagry through work at the end of September. Me and work college couldn't resist a quick trip out to "The Rocky's"!! To be honest we did manage quite a lot in the 2 hours, a meal and a bit of sightseeing.
Would love to go back and actually stay in Banff!

Learning to See in Action: When the sky is uninteresting find an interesting foreground. For this image I used a small pond as a foreground element
Enjoy & Share.
