As the sun sets at DeSoto Bend National Wildlife Refuge the sky seems to light on fire.
One of the most scenic and popular destinations in Banff National Park, Lake Moraine reflects the ten peaks on fire with an early morning glow. Around 3:30 in the morning I rose to get to Lake Moraine for a 6:00 sunrise. Since I was 60 miles away, I had to make sure to give myself enough time to get there and get set up. This scene was my reward.
Chimney Rock in western Nebraska was a beacon for early settlers. During the 19th century it served as a landmark along the Mormon Trail, Oregon Trail, and California Trail.
Peyto Lake in Banff National Park is known for its turquoise blue water caused by runoff from the nearby Glacier. Most photographers will tell you to photograph this scene in the afternoon in order to maximize the reflection of the mountains on the lake. I, however, wanted to see how it would look in the early morning. After photographing the sunrise on Bow Lake I traveled the short distance to Peyto Lake to capture this image.
The warm setting sun shines brightly across the frozen lake. On a cold February evening in 2006 I ventured to DeSoto Wildlife Refuge looking for Bald Eagles that nest here in the winter. What I found was a gorgeous sunset.
When I was coming back from photographing the sunrise on Lake Moraine, this fellow joined me on the road.
