A black and white landscape of a tree covered valley with three prominent rocky mountains in the background. The slopes of the two outside peaks are covered in snow.

Saddle Mountain in Banff Park Alberta. The photo was taken by Morant's Curve parking lot after a long afternoon taking pictures of the trains on the curve in the mountains. There was better light on the far landscape.

Under a starry sky, two wide carved stone gateposts with lion statues on top are light painted with a bright sidelight that shows carving detail and texture on the posts.

November is a little bare after the fall colours. I'm looking back at older files. This is Lions Gate at the Downhill House in Castlerock N. Ireland. There was a car leaving the parking lot and the headlights swept over the gate as I took this night photo.

This is Ashlar Ridge in Jasper Park. This photo was taken alongside the cabins by the hot springs. The road to Miette Hot Springs this year was still down to one lane in a section because of a landslide.

Young yellow and orange Aspen trees on a hillside with a streak of sunlight through the foreground. The rocky mountain cliffs in the background are lit up with afternoon sunlight.

This is around Talbot Lake in Jasper Park Alberta. An unnamed mountain close to Capital mountain. I have my Nikon 100 to 400mm lens on the Z50II. I'm hoping to see wildlife, but on a clear day with great light....

Thank you, it was a lucky photo, the sun rose above the clouds on the horizon and I noticed the tree. It was very bright shooting into the direction of the sun but my exposure was right and the result was good.

Down to the North Saskatchewan River on an October morning looking for fog. Instead the sunshine highlighted the Birch and Aspen trees in the valley.

This is Roche Ronde in Jasper Park. I climbed up the side of Hwy 16 by the old Fitzhugh Lime mine in the evening. The Aspen trees were too dense for a sweeping landscape shot across the river but I managed this on the way down.

An uprooted log lays on a gravel bank in front of a turquoise river. The mountain slopes across the river are mostly burnt forest from last years wildfire with pristine forest in the far background.

Athabasca River by Morro Slabs and Hwy 16 in Jasper Park Oct 1 2025. The fires last year were extensive around the town of Jasper. A few trails still have to be cleared before they are open again (such as the Valley of the Five Lakes).

Laurier Park in Edmonton Alberta at the end of September. There are no big native hardwood trees in Alberta. The river valley has Balsam Poplar, Aspen, Birch, Pines and Spruce. The trees mostly turn yellow with some orange. The bushes turn red.

Well thanks, I'll have to look it up and find out and get back to you. I should know more about it (excuses starting) but usually the whole river bank is covered in trees. The Edmonton/Devon Alberta area has oil and Natural gas and coal so it probably is from ancient lake deposits .

Canola field near Carvel, Alberta. It's an hours drive west of Edmonton. The rain this year has been good so far for the crops and preventing wildfires around here. The ditch is lush with canola and grass and some purple flowers
