“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable” Mary Olive Spent most of the night just below Nub Peak (2,755 m or 9,039 ft) to get this shot. I like the perspective higher up as Mount Assiniboine (3,618m or 11,870ft) rightfully towers over Sunburst Peak (2,849 m or 9,347 ft) in the foreground which you don’t appreciate at the nublet far below. Was a wee bit chilly up there at night. However between a warm dinner and our portable espresso machine, which @saultphotography and I lugged up there, we were warm and awake. Lucky to have a particularly large Mars thanks to its close 2018 approach and managed to line it up nicely with the top of Assiniboine. Made for an interesting decent with our head torches but we eventually made it back down to the tent just ahead of dawn, for a brief rest before getting up somewhat deliriously to shoot the sunrise at Magog Lake.

Don’t you just love roads like this ? A double rainbow and summer rain storm on the road next to our camp in a remote upper stretch of the North Thomson River. I drove around these forestry roads for three days without seeing another person or vehicle. Nice to feel outnumbered by the bears ;-) . This is the same location that I took the shot of the ridge next to the Metis Peak massifs (nine shots ago in my feed). British Columbia, Canada
An American Marten (Martes americana), also known as a Pine Marten, in the snow on Hudson Bay Mountain near Smithers in Northern British Columbia. Martens normally eat small mammals such as squirrels and rodents. They are however related to the wolverine and capable of hunting much larger snowshoe hares and marmots. I was lucky enough to see this guy out of the corner of my eye while I was snowboarding. He ran down a tree well; so I boarded over, took my backpack off, got my camera out, changed out the wide angle lens for the 400mm, and waited. After sitting there quietly for a few minutes he then popped his head up again. Northern British Columbia, Canada.
