Shiny Sun Solely Shining On a Solitary Spot - Icefields Parkway
Yesterday, I uploaded a picture when I was just leaving Banff, on my way through the Icefields Parkway to get to Jasper. This was one of our first stops along the Icefields Parkway, and it was a really cloudy and windy day. We stopped here to both eat some snacks (who doesn't love snacks?) and to check out the gorgeous scenery. Right as we were about to leave, the clouds opened up and shone on this spot for a bit. As with many things, in real life it was way cooler. . .but I did my best to capture it.

Well, you did a pretty good job at capturing the cool atmosphere in that moment! I can almost feel the wind on my face. Great shot!
Thank you! And yes, that area can get super super windy. But hey, that's part of the experience right?
What a great majestic shot. Love the moody clouds! Thanks for sharing! @journeyfreedom
Thank you @journeyfreedom!
It's so true, in person it's so much different...probably because all of the senses are engaged, not just the eyes. Gorgeous shot.....!
Very true. All the sights and sounds and feels can really create an overwhelming experience!
stunner. Love that blue. Can't wait til summer comes to see it again.
You going there in the summer?
Gorgeous shot mate! We stopped here as well while we were in Banff and loved this spot
Thanks dude! Yeah man, that whole area is crazy. You'd have to search pretty hard to find something that isn't gorgeous.
Good ol' Bow Lake! Nice shot! :D
You and your knowledge! Haha.
Well I did basically just live there for a couple weeks. ;)
The scenery is so quiet and strong
beautiful view, water my warm
Such an epic part of the world.
amazing photo as always. You always make me jealous of wherever you are! At least I'm adding to my travel list :)
Thanks man. You should definitely add this area to your travel list. It's not in the U.S., but if you're going to all fifty states, you might as well just swing up here too!
