U.S. and Canadian Rockies

We photographed reflections in the glacier lakes as much as head-on shots of these lakes and mountains. It is June, and some lakes are still thawing. The ”Candles”, the shimmering sound of ice as it breaks apart, crackles and then suddenly falls into the emerald and sapphire water, were heard everywhere. Of all days today Lake Louise was melting before our eyes – sheets of crackling ice colliding and shattering into millions of crystals.
The glacial waterfalls that fill the lakes rushed down the forest floor. Moss covered the ground, tree bark and rocks. The forest was alive with burgundy colored logs, Canadian Columbine, wild life and a sense that this area of ancient beauty was carrying us through time like the wind.
