Mount Assiniboine is a pyramidal peak mountain located on the Great Divide, on the British Columbia/Alberta border in Canada. It is the highest peak (3,618 m) in the Southern Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. There are two ways to get here: one is to get in and out by helicopter, and the other is to walk more than 30 kilometers in one way. The helicopter lifts to huts or lodge at Lake Magog. Mount Assiniboine rises nearly 1,525m above Lake Magog.
Spent three days in a hut by taking helicopter in Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park, with no electricity, no signal, and heated by camp fire at night. There are only 5 huts in the park, and limited campsites and lodges for people to stay overnight. Luggage by helicopter cannot exceed 40 pounds. Need to bring own garbage down the mountain.
From the huts to the top of the mountain, had to climb 5.7 kilometers to Niblet to shoot the sunrise and sunset at Sunburst Peaks. The hiking trail from the huts to Nub Peak via Niblet was the best trail ever. Woke up at 4am in the morning and climbed the mountain with a headlamp on, also with bear spray, to capture the sunrise; hiked down the mountains and climbed up again before sunset to capture sunset… After the sunset, it was dark, went down the mountain with headlamp on, so afraid contacting with bears ... Did like this for two days. No electricity and no signal for three days, went to the river to get water, boiled water at the public "kitchen" … lived as a savage for three days.
This was the scene before sunset, clouds hanging on top of Mount Assiniboine! This is the sight of heaven falling on earth. It was truly a place of incredible peace…a place for you to disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with nature… (Sept.18, 2022)

Huge thanks for the visiting, faves and kind comments! 🙏💕
I appreciated your stopping by my dear Flickr friends! 🙏
Hello my friends. I am sorry I have been absent for so long. Several health issues. Some of you have sent me messages asking about me and it warms my heart to know I am missed. Maybe each week I can post and comment some. I have missed all of you and your photography.
I tried, while not using Bev's tripod, to control the bright sunlight with a flower. It's always a surprise and a real thrill to find one of your images in Explore - thank you for your visits, favourites and comments, all are most appreciated!
-- We had been out in tha fabulous nature of Dýrafjörður, on of the prettiest of the Icelandic Westfjords, not knowing about all the bird life there and that the baby birds had recently hatched,
When the geese parents became aware of us they seemed to panick, and rushed - well, the youngest of the birds were painfully slow - down to the sea, and well there they jumped into the sea. It fas fascinating to see thet even the really small birds were able to swim quite fast.

This shot was taken back in July for submission to the TD Bank employee photo contest for their annual "Friends of the Environment Foundation (FEF)" calendar. The theme for this year was Shades of Green and my photo was fortunate to be chosen amongst some great photos to be included in the Wall calendar version (there is also a desk calendar) for 2017.
FEF is a charitable foundation that funds and supports environmental initiatives nationally across Canada and in it's 25 years has funded more than 24,000 environmental projects. To learn more the link is:

It was an awesome experience hiking on the glacier, traversing crevasses, exploring ice caves and breathing in the fresh air of the wide open spaces. To look up and see the origin of a waterfall on such a hike was exhilarating.
