Good morning Gord, Gary, Raymond, Ann, SSSKiki, Heather, Jeff, Bobby and Amanda! So nice to see you here at one of my favorite spots now! I will go here again this year now that I know how to get up there. It's takes a while if you are not totally fit! I can tell you that!!! BUT LOOK AT THE PRIZE! :DTo be honest I had the hardest time levelling this image. I still feel the lake slants down to the right but the trees are correct (straight up and down). It's an optical illusion for sure. I hope I got it right and by the sounds of your comments I might have! :))) HeeHee...SssKiki...:))) xo
GOSH! IMAGINE! A GOLD WINNER? Okay! Bring it on! Lol...
I wish you were all here to see my beautiful Country. It really can take a persons breath away.
Thank you all so much and enjoy the beauty of your back yard too! I know it's there! :))) !!!

You're so blessed to be close to this place of wonder. The first time I visited Banff, I got so excited and could not decide what to take a picture of. This reminds of that excitement and the kind of shot that makes the heart beat a little faster. #10009958Stephen Zacker February 28, 2012
