And a few random ones from the last ten days in the Canadian Rockies. Lake O'Hara is covered in images 4 - 20. I had a lot of fun messing with the super-wide lens. I think it was worth carrying the beast around.
Go to Lake O'Hara. On a good day, your brain will love you for decades even if you don't take any photos.
1) Exshaw. Always pass by and I always want to stop to grab an image
2) Storm Mountain Lodge
3) aspen trees and mountain views
4) did someone ask for glass-like stillness this morning at Lake O'Hara?
5) on the way to Wiwaxy Gap
6) ack, I can't take it, memory card bursting at the seams
7) the view away from Lake O'Hara at Wiwaxy Gap
8) a 500m straight-up stair climb, but worth every bit of lactic acid
9) focus anywhere, it seriously doesn't matter here
10) looking up while traversing the Huber Ledge
11) glacial striations on rock with Lake Oesa in the background

21) Castle Mountain
22) autumn is wonderful
23) Helen Lake and Cirque Peak, not enough time to scramble this one today, but next time
24) a late lunch above Helen Lake (a rare photo of me)
25) some styrofoamy consistency snow for the hike down
26) forest fires and rebirth
27) the remains of the 2003 Kootenay forest fire near Marble Canyon
28) aspen trees
29) up to Sentinel Pass we go
30) just a few little switchbacks to go, but the weather is looking grim
