We woke up at 4am to photograph Bow Lake and after that decided to take the 3 hour drive to Jasper and over to Malinge Lake and Spirit Island. This was a must see for me and was well worth the precious $$ to get there and for the boat ride. Enjoy!! VLOG below..
A low perspective on Spirit Island and the box canyon it sits in at the south end of Maligne Lake.
Spiritual: relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things."
Standing here moved me and felt like I was standing in the middle of the grandest Cathedral or Mosque in the world.
The lake was named by
Father Pierre-Jean De Smet, Maligne meaning "wicked or malignant" in French. The harsh winters and turbulent passage of it's outlet to it's confluence with the Athabasca River were probably why he named it so. Seems it should have been called "Magnifique Lake" to me.
"The island is a spiritual place for the Stoney Nakoda First Nation, who believe mountains are physical representations of their ancestors. The fact that Spirit Island is surrounded on three sides by the same mountain range is very rare and makes it particularly significant to the Stoney."

Thanks for taking a look and for any comments, faves and suggestions!
Without a doubt one of the most famous Buddha heads in the world and the iconic image from the ruins of Ayutthaya is the head entwined in the tree roots at Wat Mahathat. Ayutthaya was sacked by the Burmese in 1767. Although there are various theories nobody really know for sure how this head wound up as it is found today.
This gorgeous three year old gypsy Vanner stallion is a beautiful spiritual being. He is inquisitive and non judgmental and seems to have psychic powers and knows what his owner is thinking. He is intuitive and brilliant as well as a clown. I enjoyed my time with him and his gypsy family.

"A Spiritual Meditation"
by Susan T. Reeves
Calm your heart,
and quiet your mind.
Listen to the rhythm
of your heart beat in time
With the music of your soul’s breath
Trust, and your heart won’t contest.
Free your spirit, let it soar,
Feel your being lift from the floor.
Let your body completely relax.
Slowly, you’ll start coming back
With such clarity of the mind,
Peace, to your soul will bind.
Awaken now, and be free
To walk your path and simply be.
Well I have seen a lot of photos lately from Maligne Lake and couldn't resist going through my old photos and edit a few that I hadn't previously. Spirit Island is just unlike anywhere else in the Rockies... Kris..
Forest fires and the resulting smoke have been a big deal in Canada since early spring and we certainly encountered it on our recent trip west - having to change plans because of road closures and contending with a smoky haze that irritated the lungs and made us and everything in the car smell like a campfire. It was particularly bad in British Columbia's Thompson Valley and Ontario - extending all the way from Kenora in the north down to Toronto and across the border into the US.
This image is from the west coast of Vancouver Island - the furthest point we were able to go. A couple of things attracted me to this scene - the layers in the landscape and the taller trees in the upper right - the few left standing on the edge of clearcut logging.
Old growth forest is something to behold - full of large trees, large ferns, large sections of mosses - pretty well large everything. I find it spiritual.
Гидроцикл не просто мечта:
Это средство душевной свободы.
Это миг, но в нем есть полнота
Нашей жизни и нашей природы.
Острым носом под солнцем скользя
По игривой сверкающей гидре,
Ты внутри ощущаешь себя
Совершенством в посредственном мире.............Jet ski is not just a dream:
It is a means of spiritual freedom.
It is a moment, but there is completeness in it
Our life and our nature.
With a sharp nose under the sun gliding
By the playful sparkling hydra,
You feel yourself inside
Perfection in a mediocre world.
A young shaman that is looking for her spiritual path.. It is not always an easy path to fight demons inside your head.
One of the the tribe fierce and proud.
Rila monastery, Bulgaria, a popular spot to visit, but it's free of the tourist crowds at night, there's a basic but cheap and perfectly adequate place to stay just outside the monastery. Unfortunately it's not allowed for the public to go up to the upper floors, where the view would have been much better.
