Lake Minnewanka and Banff Springs Hotel on left border. Bow River flowing on it's way to Calgary and distant Hudson Bay. Mt Rundle rising on the right. Love this view. The air up here was so fresh and invigorating.
Enjoy a wonderful winter weekend!
A Massive male Elk in Banff National Park, Alberta.
We were loosing light fast, and I had actually put my camera back into my backpack and we were driving back to where we were staying, when we saw this guy off to the side of the road. I pulled my camera out as quick as I could and hopped out of the car. I had my ISO set to Auto (with a shutter speed of 1/250 or higher) and just put in Av, and dropped my Aperture as low as my lens would go (f4). Luckily my AF was set to zone.
Just as I brought my camera to my eye to take the shot the Elk began to retreat back into the forest. He must have been camera shy.
Not the sharpest shot ever, but my first sighting of a massive male elk with a rack like this. This image does not do his size any justice.
Mountains in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada bask in the intermittent sun. A snowstorm had just blown through and led to some dramatic scenes and lighting.

The charming mountain village glows at dusk, and Cascade Mountain is still visible.
Banff, Alberta, Canada
One of the great things about Banff, is that if you know where to go you can often get lots of great shots (including close ups) of Elk and Rocky Mountain Sheep.
All comments are appreciated. TIA.

Cascade Mountain catching the last of the light
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!
