Welcome: to Mount Robson, Canada's highest
mountain in the background cannot fail to impress at 3954 metres. I like
the way the clouds stream off to the right, almost like wind blown hair. |
 |
A closer view. |
|
Checked in to the Lobstick Lodge in Jasper, we go
off exploring.
Mount Edith Cavell beckons. |
 |
 |
Glacial pond at the foot of the glacier. |
 |
The signage tells you a bit about things. |
End of a glacier, start of a river. |

Jean's glad she brought a fleece. August
it may be, but the height, snow and ice make for low teperatures. |
 |
 |
Interesting colours of algae on the ground. |
 |
A diddy iceberg. |
Lake Maligne, is another beautiful lake in
its mountainous setting, but unfortunately the smoke is here as well
although we're a hundred K's or more from the nearest fire. |
 |
|
We opt for a boat trip. No, sadly we are
on larger and less environmentally friendly boat. |
 |
which doesn't hang about |
 |
 |
 |
we get a few minutes to enjoy what's left of
the view of Spirit Island. |
 |
|
Someone is more concerned with stocking up |
 |
 |
This little chap is a golden mantled ground
squirrel. |
 |
Fishing for trout, so I was told. |
 |
These buildings are found all over the parks.
We are talking toilets of the 'long drop' variety. |
|
Jean coped with this wobbly bridge without
too much of a problem. |
 |
This is one of my favourite pictures of the
holiday. As usual with photography it's a case of right place, right time. |
