I returned late Monday (April 30) from 6 days in Banff. Late winter was a sight to behold in that incredible part of the world as anyone who's been there would know.

 

As you're heading to Banff from Calgary, you see the Canadian Rockies in the west. Once you drive through Canmore you are just a short distance from Banff. When you reach the first exit to Banff, you take a right onto the off ramp. At the stop sign at the end of the off ramp, if you take a left you will soon be in downtown Banff. If you take a right, the first park you come to will be Cascade Ponds. And this is where this photo was taken.

 

Soon the snow melt will refill this pond so that it will once again reflect Mt. Rundle on the west side of Banff but up through the end of April and early May all the lakes are still very much frozen. Don't get me wrong. The ice on many of the lakes are now melting like Two Jack and Lake Louise and Moraine Lake but it will still be a while before all the ice is gone.

 

Primary photo equipment for this photo: Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 16-35mm f2.8L II USM lens.

 

Time to chill out to Carolyn Southworth's song Where Eagles Soar
