Against All Odds

Banff gave us a nice parting shot for our final sunrise in the Canadian Rockies. Having been snowed in with overcast skies with barely visible mountains the past two days Aaron and I were expecting another sunrise dud. To our surprise partly cloudy skies and visible mountains greeted us. Adding icing on the conditions an overnight fresh snowfall blanketed the trees with a beautiful coating of white. After some consideration on the snowy conditions and not knowing whether or not the lakes are frozen we headed for higher ground.

We decided to shoot the Hoodoos Viewpoint of Mt. Rundle. High above the valley we could see the Bow River, fog rolling through the valley, and Mt. Rundle towering in the background. The sunrise light slowly increased in intensity from blue hour onwards and finally became a sky full of glowing oranges, reds, and pinks. Coupled with the fresh blanket of snow the valley caught the reflected skylight creating a beautiful palette of colors. It was a great way to cap off an amazing trip up north.
