I do agree on how dense and massive this green expanse of trees/mountain and so overwhelming Laura. An impressive capture.

Happy Birthday Dale, old friend! Woohoo!

8/29/2011 4:01:03 PM

Terrific view and capture, Laura!

8/29/2011 4:10:20 PM

You have certainly captured the breathtaking magnificence of the Rockies here Laura. Look how small the trees are. Happy birthday Dale (I'm probably late by now).

8/29/2011 9:30:54 PM

To All Of You! I've enjoyed your comments very much! I'm sure that Dale will, too!!!

Wm, I think I see a waver, too???!!!

About this location: It was amazing to stand in this spot and take it all in. I'm so glad you got the same feel just from viewing this. :) That was my hope!

Like SSSKiki said...DEEP BREATH! Take it all in!

-Laura :)

P.S. Dale, Happy Birthday From Us All!

8/29/2011 10:27:23 PM

I'm thrilled by all the happy birthday wishes. Thanks to everyone for all the kind words and especially thanks to Laura for such a lovely gesture. Now if I could just get up to Banff ....... :o)

Belated birhday wishes to Dale, that he have a terrific year ahead of him!
Pom, you did a phenomenal job of capturing those magnificent mountains and trees and valleys and sky and probably some tourists lost in all those trees!
Superb mountainscape, Ms. PommaLaura!

8/31/2011 2:07:52 AM

Thank you all so much!!! I love your visits and don't deserve them. I haven't been here as much as I need to be and am so sorry!!!

If you folks have time and want to see one the most beautiful movies made in the 1950's of the Canadian Rockies (Love story of sorts!) Try and watch Rose Marie. Here is part ONE of TWELVE ten minutes segments.

So worth watching even just this segment!

Thank you all for your wonderful visits!

-Laura :)))

8/31/2011 8:37:40 AM

Laura: Since I am an old movie fan from way, way, back, I have seen this movie, and the scenes are indeed beautiful. I used to sit with my grannie as she loved the "oldies" too, and I married a man who likes them also. I am "blessed" all around.

You do the Canadian Rockies justice to rival the scenes in this movie. Way to go!!!

8/31/2011 8:57:37 AM

:) Thank you Nancy Marie. :) YES! You are truly blessed to have those memories with your grannie and also be with someone who likes old time movies, too! :)))

I am not so in this way, I'm on my own. Lol...

-Laura :)

8/31/2011 10:01:36 AM

What a brilliant country you live in Sister Laura! This is a delightful card for Dale, he sure looks like he enjoyed it!
Belated Birthday wishes Dale, and Happy T~K~W Day to all!

9/1/2011 4:15:49 PM

Thank you Brother John! :) I am delighted to show you my home! :)!!!

Hi Big Sis Pat! xxxxxx :) Hi Mumj! xo:) Hi Chris!! Hi Ysa!xo :)

So good to see you here. :) Dale and I really love this place and to have reached the top of this hill to get this image meant a lot to us.

Just like life. It isn't always easy but always worth it!!! Life is a gift and so is this Earth! Happy you like seeing this part of it!

Thanks all for the congrats!

-Laura :D

10/14/2011 8:55:10 AM

Wow.....congrats on this awesome pic :-)

11/6/2011 4:47:06 PM

Thanks, Kimmy! I have another one I hope is even better, (that I shot as I stood there standing in another direction), and maybe the judges will let it go GOLD. I will re-enter it this month. :)))

You know the Rockies are so gorgeous. Everyone says, once they get here, that EVERYWHERE THEY TURN there is another great shot to take...So my little motto is that I don't make the beauty in my Rocky images. I only report it! :)

-Laura :D
