More Favourites from the Archives

In this blog, I’m again sharing more photographs sourced from deep in my electronic archives.

This first shot was taken in Calgary in 2010 while we were still residing there. I awoke on a winter morning to see the trees outside adorned with hoar frost, a crystalline deposit of frozen water vapour formed in clear still weather upon trees, fences, bushes and so on. It occurs when dew drops make contact with a colder surface, freezing and creating ice crystals. It’s not seen often, so I didn’t hesitate to get out with my camera.

Here’s a photograph from our very memorable visit to Iceland in 2017. I took this picture capturing fellow tourists walking the path behind the Seljalandsfoss waterfall.

This view down the Bow Valley was taken in the winter of 2009. It features a glorious sunset, the two mountain ranges bounding the valley and Cascade Mountain in the background.

My next photograph was taken at Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver in 2011. We were visiting Jonathan and Nadja, who took us up there, where we came across a demonstration of logging skills.

The final image for today was taken near Field, B.C. in 2012 at the Natural Bridge, a natural rock formation that spans the flow of the Kicking Horse River. This photograph was taken from above, where the river drops into the narrow passage cutting through the rock to form the bridge.

That’s it for today. I’m waiting patiently for access to nearby national and provincial parks to resume taking new pictures. Restrictions imposed by the Coronavirus and residual snow at lower elevations in the mountains are limiting the opportunities to reach the favoured photo sites. Hopefully this will change soon. In the interim, I’ll see what else I can dig up in the archives.
