“If everything's under control, you're going too slow” Mario Andretti Perhaps my favorite peak in the Canadian Rockies, Pyramid Mountain looms large over most of the terrain around Jasper at 2,766m or 9,075ft. The red bands come from iron rich layers in the rock. A winter shot taken from high on the side of Marmot peak. Alberta, Canada
There is a sense of peace and quiet in winter that you don’t seem to get in any of the other seasons. Fresh snow dampens sound in a way that has to be experienced before you really understand it. The sense of quiet comes from the high porosity of loosely packed crystals of freshly fallen snow which trap sound waves. It looks like summer has arrived here with temps here in the low 30’s C (90F) for this week. One of the problems with having such dramatic seasons is you can tell how far behind I am with my photo editing! The shot was taken on Hudson Bay Mountain just outside of Smithers in Northern British Columbia, Canada.
One advantage of living in Northern BC is that you don't have to travel far from bed to see the Northern Lights.
