Love narrow trails like this. Reminds me of the bamboo trails on Maui. The light from the evening sun seemed to bring out the same rich green. But this is deep in the boreal forest region of Alberta. ha!
Chasing Aurora's last night, June 22, 2015, I found myself near a storm system that was tracking it's way across the landscape in front of me. The lightning was strong, and this was the strongest strike. Shot next to Alberta Highway 9, looking North toward Beiseker, Alberta.
Peyto Lake was named after Bill Peyto, the trail guide. But this lake is famous for its shape - the head of a wolf or a dog. One more must seen lake on your Icefields Parkway trip.
Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

Another image of the amazing sunset from the prairies.
I cannot describe how beautiful they are, I decided to show you, lol.
Again, I am liking the underexposed foregrounds to really draw attention to the beauty of the sky.
I added the fence in to fence the foreground some depth as well.
As Always, Thanks for viewing and any comments are welcome.

Multiple shot stitched panorama of one of the best spots photograph the Edmonton skyline! Loving the D610, as I was able to capture all the shadows and highlights in a single shot which allowed me to shoot this panorama much faster. File size is over 50" long, it should print huge!
View it on my website here, www.mikeisaak.com/photo/gallagher-park-sunset/ where you can purchase prints.

Young Grizzly cub catching up to mother bear - taken in the Canadian Rockies. Hope he has a safe season - life is not easy for baby bears. Only about 35% to 50% of grizzly bear cubs survive to adulthood. They face an incredibly difficult journey, making grizzlies one of the slowest-reproducing land mammals in North America.
Since August of last year, we have started taking the 1A highway out of Canmore through to Calgary and back home. Although not very far from the Trans-Canada Highway, it is a much more scenic, almost intimate, drive.
We made it through this area looking for a good vantage point to get a long exposure of a train running through Kananaskis Country. I saw the water and just pulled over.
Through the beauty of long exposure camera tricks, you can't see how blisteringly cold and sharp the wind was. We got some great motion in the water to get it nice and frosty-smooth. I wanted to get as long as an exposure as I could to get the clouds as wispy as possible.
I was also just really happy to get a good view of the turquoise water. I wonder how long it would take for me photographing the turquoise water of western Canada before it loses its appeal. Likely never.

On an evening where the Aurora danced, the moon also shone so bright that you could move around without needing any other light.
Brocken Spectra (aka mountain spectra)! My first time seeing this optical phenomenon was on a recent sunrise hike. In the center of the circles is my shadow cast on the clouds by the sun behind me. My head is surrounded by a halo of “rings of glory”. A glory resembles a saint’s halo (not particularly fitting for a metalhead like me…) and is believed to be caused by light tunneling through air inside miniscule water droplets and then being emitted backwards due to resonance effects. In order to see this the clouds actually have to be below you because the center of glory is antisolar . So a 10^4 mountain is a pretty good spot to experience some cool optics.

Finding stillness at Two Jack Lake. 🌲️ There is something incredibly peaceful about watching the dramatic clouds roll over the Canadian Rockies while the water turns to pure glass. This long-exposure shot captures that exact moment of serenity right at the water's edge, anchored by this weathered log, where time just seems to stand still. The raw beauty of nature here in Alberta never ceases to amaze me!
Ruhe finden am Two Jack Lake. 🌲️ Es hat etwas unglaublich Friedliches, die dramatischen Wolken über die kanadischen Rocky Mountains ziehen zu sehen, während das Wasser spiegelglatt wird. Diese Langzeitbelichtung fängt genau diesen Moment der absoluten Gelassenheit direkt am Ufer ein, verankert durch diesen verwitterten Baumstamm, wo die Zeit einfach stillzustehen scheint. Die raue Schönheit der Natur hier in Alberta versetzt mich immer wieder ins Staunen!
The elegant Banff Springs Hotel seated in the Rockies. The history behind this place is pretty amazing.
snowy spirit island. jasper. alberta. Pro-tip. Don’t stand outside when the ferry boat takes off or you’ll eat a face full of snow. @travelalberta #explorealberta via 500px ift.tt/2g2DMMh
