Picture jaspers exhibit combinations of patterns resulting in what appear to be scenes or images, when seen on a cut section. Such patterns include banding from flow or depositional patterns (from water or wind), as well as dendritic or color variations. While these "picture jaspers" can be found all over the world, specific colors or patterns are unique to the geographic region from which they originate.
Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!
Athabasca Falls is a waterfall in Jasper National Park on the upper Athabasca River, approximately 30 kilometres south of the townsite of Jasper, Alberta, Canada, and just west of the Icefields Parkway.
The morning fog bank didn't completely block the day's first light on Pyramid Peak. Patience paid off this morning.
A favorite place to begin a new day. Hence I've taken many shots from here, some more posted below in comments.
I also have some grand memories of shooting with some very special people here.
I'm honored and very pleased with your comments, faves and support. Thank you!
The Jasper Wildfire Complex is an ongoing wildfire in Jasper, Alberta, Canada. Fires were initially spotted in the mountains both north and south of the resort town before the fires in both directions eventually reached the town. A mass evacuation was ordered on July 22, 2024.

We visited Jasper National Park back in July of this year. This view was just outside our cabin. I ventured about ten yards to this point as the evening was fast ahead. Little did I know a coyote would soon pass this spot about one minute right after I left. We saw him from our cabin window as he passed right by.
There are some major fires going on in the national park currently. A lightning strike on Sept 1st was the cause. My heart and prayers are with those up in that area.
Morning view there at Pyramid Lake in Jasper, Alberta. Looked amazing there with the low fog on this cold summer morning.
This was taken half way between Hinton and Jasper Alberta. This lake is super shallow end to end. This was just after technical sunrise.
Jasper Lake is nearly 10 km long, 1.6 km wide but only a metre deep. It's more of a flood plain of the Athabasca river than an actual lake. It's full in the summer and dry in the winter. I walked out into the centre in mid October. The mountain sides are scorched from the Chetamon Wildfire, which from the last report I seen is still considered contained, not held and it will be reevaluated in the spring.
I know. I promised Monday as "Dog Day." Well this is eight hours early, but I wanted to share more of Mt. Diablo tomrrow before moving on to ... who knows what.
This was Jasper, an Australian Shepherd I think. What I can tell you about Jasper is that he kept looking at me like this. I think he loved me! But his owners wouldn't let him go. I met them on Ginder Gap Trail on Mt. Diablo. As obedient as Jasper was, the people he owned wouldn't let him off the leash. Good humans.
I'll bet if he could use that look, he got everything he wanted. Maybe even a sheep.
In summer this hour is very late by the clock ... approaching 11 PM. The fading light and view there along the lake captured while out on the island was quite the peaceful time.
Another North America "big game" post, this impressive bull elk was photographed in Jasper National Park, Alberta.
Whenever Jasper, my photo assistant, is in the mood to take a photo tour, he take a seat in a shoe :-)
Thanks Leonie for the shoe!
Happy Sunday all!
