One of my larger Gigapans, the photos were taken early in the morning after a heavy snowfall a few days earlier on the upper slopes. The mountain rises more than 1600 meters above the valley floor and is more than 10,741 feet high. Composed of many layers of shale, quartzite and limestone, it stands in solitary splend...

A short hike from the Bow summit on the Icefields Parkway, Peyto Lake was named after pioneer explorer Bill Peyto. This is an early morning shot, around 9:00 AM when the air was calm, clear and the lighting was optimum. There was a slight breeze and the temps at the time were near freezing...not unusual at this altit...

The Gigapan does its magic in the Rockies. All the colours you see are natural...the lake is almost a pure shade of cyan. It's one of the most visited sites in the Rockies, if not all of Canada. At one time, there was an illustration of the lake and mountains on the back of the Canadian $20 banknote. To reach t...

Southwest of Jasper, Alberta. While I was setting up the camera, a very large iceberg calved off the Cavell Glacier and slid into the lake creating a massive wave about 15 feet high which broke the frozen surface and washed on the shore.
