The weather has changed today, raining and lots of mist and cloud. We were lucky to get that perfect day yesterday in Lake Louise, but after lots of changing hues, managed to get a spectacular shot before we departed.

I’ve been practising macro shots of birds and furry critters and am getting quite good at it I reckon.
Today we are venturing through Kicking Horse River Valley, checking out Emerald Lake and Bow Valley. Despite the weather, still gorgeous.
Staying at the Fairmont Banff Springs built initially in the late 1800’s, then a fire, and rebuilt by 1928…lots of nooks and crannies in a palatial masterpiece. Dreamed up as a luxurious development by William Cornelius Van Horne, who was then GM of the Canadian Pacific Railways. ” Since we can’t export the scenery, we’ll have to import the tourists”. He commissioned Bruce Price, who designed the initial lavish structure.
