Mount Temple and the Bow River from Morant’s Curve (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views from Morant’s Curve along the Bow Valley Parkway in Banff National Park. My thought on composing this image was to pull back on the focal length and include foreground interest with the Bow River and some nearby forest. Mount Temple and other ridges and peaks of the Bow Range would be a backdrop for this setting in the Canadian Rockies.

Mount Lefroy and Mount Victoria South Summit (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: The latter was hidden in the clouds most of the hike up to the Plain of the Six Glaciers. Still, taking in these wondrous mountain peaks with glaciers hanging right on the mountainside edge...amazing!

Looking to the Plain of the Six Glaciers (Black & White) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view not far from a stop for tea and biscuits at the teahouse. I decided on a wide angle view just to capture the amazing beauty of this view.
