One of the views I was looking forward to photographing while I was in Canada, was Lake Moraine. So I got to the right spot on an early clear morning. However, the wind was blowing and the morning light never seemed to be just right. But in spite of being disappointed, I think I need to post this one to complete the series I have of Canada.
Early morning looking towards Mt. Rundle as the clouds gradually turned red and the sun created a red glow on the mountain.
One of so many beautiful spots with fabulous scenery along the Icefields Parkway. This is a slightly less common view of Bow Lake.

A view of Mount Chefren and the Waterfowl Lakes. This is a spot that is quite easy to reach when driving the Icefields Parkway. A short trail leads down to the lakes.

Early morning Autumn Sunrise at Two Jack Lake, looking towards Mt. Rundle. After seeing so many lovely images of this mountain, this was really high on my wish list when traveling through the Rockies. Now I am so glad to have been able to capture it with some amazing clouds!
Mt. Rundle in Banff is an iconic mountain, beautiful to see from many different angles. This is taken from the Vermillion Lakes late afternoon.

The meadow and stream next to the Merlin Meadows campground in the Lake Louise area offers great views of the surrounding mountains.
Photo Tips: Sunset can nicely illuminate the Wall of Jericho mountain (to the left) and Mount Richardson (center) and so it is a better time for photography. But particularly a Summer sunrise shouldn't disappoint too.
Getting there: It's a day hike from the trailhead close to the Lake Louise. Campground is right next to the meadow, making it a very convenient location for an early morning and late evening photography.
