Moving Mountains
Uploaded: February 15, 2010
At The Eastern Shoreline of The
CANADIAN ROCKY MOUNTAINS
(Just Before Canmore, Alberta)
There Is A Small Lake On HWY 1 To Banff.
Across That Lake Is What You See Here.
It's a Gravel Quarry Chipping Away At
A Rocky Mountain.
(Guess they thought we had one to spare?)
Note: The Lake Water Is USUALLY CHOPPY since a
wind tunnel normally sweeps through here,
so this was a treat to see!

Laura- Well girl, you certainly turned this rock quarry into a work of art. Love the colors and the look you accomplished with the fract filter. Has that painted look which I just love. Fantastic work my friend.John Connolly February 15, 2010
WOW! What fantasic mirror image reflections, Laura! Talk about being in the right place at the right time! Love your effects! #8384308Laura E. Swan February 15, 2010
Hi everyone!Thanks for your great comments! They are much appreciated!
I totally liked this one and am so glad you do, too. Not all images work well with the Fractalius filter.
I LOVE reflective photography as well as many of you also do. This was one of my better shots to try it on.
Yes, Mr. Tree. Sad as it is...we do! :)
Thanks again all!

LOve the image and the reflections and the title, too, Laura! Looks awesome. How far do you live from Banff? Heard that was gorgeous from my husband's cousin. #8384715Tammy Espino February 15, 2010
Fannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnntastic!!! #8384815Laura E. Swan February 15, 2010
Hi Phil, Ann, Ron, Ellen and Tammy! :DThank you all. So much!
Banff is so delightful. Google it sometime and see more! It is awe inspiring for 360*. I mean that!
Banff national park is huge in itself. It covers many lakes and areas.
HOWEVER there is also a TOWN named Banff. It's at the eastern edge of the Rockies and greets visitors as they come through the park gates. Just a short drive from them...
Banff and Calgary are about an hour from one another but Calgary is also huge and it could take 2 hours from "home" depending on what part of the city you live in.
Thank you all very much for coming to see my little gravel quarry creation here.
