This scene was made famous by CPR Photographer Nicholas Morant. It was used to promote and market the splendour and awe of the Canadian Rockies to those in Europe in the early 1900’s and to encourage tourism.

Great light and shadow on that reknown landscape. Not too much snow to kep the forest its colour and enough snow to gives the foreground evergreens a nice winter look. Very well done Clifford.

You can just feel the chill in the air here and I love how clearly the snow covered spruce stand out here beside the steamy curving river with the awesome peaks in the background. Great composition, dof and detail in a beautiful capture Clifford.

Great capture, Clifford! The depth of this shot is so striking. The play of light and shadow in the forest. Would love to take the train through, one day!

Very beautiful capture Clifford. The snow laden trees, steam coming off the open water and those mountain peaks make this an unforgettable composition.
