Mt. Wilson Ahead - a photo on Flickriver

Mt. Wilson Ahead

            I posted a pic yesterday of some of the ramparts that stretch out on the edges of massive Mt. Wilson.  Thought I'd provide a wider view to better show how huge and formidable this mountain is.  Seen from the David Thompson Highway as I near Banff's Saskatchewan Crossing.

Mount Wilson honors Tom Wilson (1859–1933) who was an early explorer in the Canadian Rockies.  An early traveller wrote, "I don't like Mount Wilson. I once travelled around its base for two days and it seemed as though I should never get away from it."

Mountains and their ecosystems are my primary fascination and subject.  My Cathedrals.  I'm blessed to live where I do with some of the finest peaks in the world within a days drive.  

Thanks for taking a peak peek!

Have a wonderful weekend!
