The story behind the image
British Columbia and Alberta are probably best known for the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Here is a stunning shot of our 2002 trip to that area. It shows the majestic Mount Edith Cavell which is situated about 25 km south of Jasper. I think it’s the perfect image: the sun is shining, the top of the mountain is not covered by clouds, the surface of the lake is really calm and does show only the tiniest of the tiny ripples, and the water is absoultely clear.
This, by the way, was totally confirmed by our surroundings. There were no tourists at all. Maybe they were shying the 30 minute ride (one way) off the Icefields Parkway? I don’t know, but it was an almost magical experience to be with Petra in this beautiful place.
Seriously, how much better can it get?
