A Place to sit and Contemplate
It is great to get on the road and travel, take tons of photos, go for short hikes and even buy over-priced items but it is so important in the travelling to stop and take a breather, to take that pause, and just breathe. I did a lot of travelling in a week but did make a point of taking a moment, or a few, to find a quiet or noisy spot and just sit, be still within myself, and soak in the beauty. Here are some of those places: water lilies at Jackfish Lake. Medicine Lake on Maligne Lake Road, misty evening at Fish Lake, Patricia Lake shoreline, bench beside Sunwapta River, Beauty Creek, and Windy Point on Abraham Lake.

Beautiful shots, yes sometimes we are in such a hurry to get the great shots we forget to stop and enjoy what we see.

I was so busy driving to see the next spot on my list of “must sees” at one point, or many, I told myself to SLOW down and be on vacation.Then I truly enjoyed it.

thank you, David, hard not to just snap away but scenes like this do present their own challenges with light changes and value ranges

even though they were not all quiet places I took the time to be still and ponder the energy and power.Glad that I did.

Awesome photos Jane, what beauty to sit with alone, to enjoy in thought. We all need to do that on occasion, put life back into perspective. Share more with us! 🙂
