PANO ANSEL
Uploaded: June 15, 2009
CANADIAN ROCKIES
KANANASKIS COUNTRY
EASTERN SHORELINE.
Alberta Canada
Taken 3 Days Ago.
A tribiute to:
Ansel Adams
HAD HE EVER MADE IT TO MY AREA.
Through some research I cannot find that he was ever in this area
but I know he would have loved it here and
this is the type of shot I feel he might have taken.
Hope I did his memory justice!

Wonderful tribute to Ansel Adams, Laura! He would have loved it there - so many photo ops! It does look like something he would have taken! Great job, Sis! #7632788Laura E. Swan June 15, 2009
I am just beginning to get to know Ansel Adams and his work and he and I have some uncanny things in common with the styles of images we take. I wonder if he would have had fun in DDR like me? Probably not. I'm kinda crazy that way. But he was a trail blazer so who knows? :)Thanks Everyone. I'm heading back in next week. I don't plan to come up for air for a while. (Unless it's the good NATURAL HIGH ELEVATION AIR! HA!)
I so much appreciate each comment here. I also hope each of you makes it here some time in your life.
