Looking across Outpost Lake in the Tonquin Valley. We stayed a night at Wates-Gibson Hut in the torrential rain so it was nice to be able to walk out in the morning without packing up our tents in the mud. The clouds parted a little that morning ; just enough to let a few rays of sun through and give us some hope that it would not rain continuously for the remaining three days of the hike.
The waterfall near the first bridge at Maligne Canyon just before winter set in. It was actually lightly snowing when I took this shot which helped to reduce the dynamic range and allow this to be taken as a single image. The snow was rendered invisible as it’s a 20 second exposure at f/16. It is a very deep canyon and I wanted to get a large depth of field with the f/16 without having to spend all day focus stacking. It is much deeper than it looks; if you scroll right back in my feed I have some shots of people ice climbing on this waterfall from the previous winter which provide a sense of scale.

Some bald eagles (haliaeetus leucocephalus) building their nest as winter sets in. They were setting this nest up near Medicine Lake in Jasper National Park which is an area where it regularly gets to -35C (-31 F) in the winter. Hard to imagine anything nesting that high up in the Canadian Rockies. Alberta, Canada
