Natural landscapes: down in the damp
FIR TREE, SIFFLEUR CANYON, KOOTENAY PLAINS ECOLOGICAL RESERVE, ALBERTA
After photographing a glorious waterfall in this canyon, I was starting on the four-kilometre walk back to the van when I looked down and saw this wonderful natural symmetry. After some careful manoeuvring to get everything just right, I made a loooong exposure to make the thrashing water silky so it wouldn’t distract you from enjoying the balanced relationship between tree, rock and water.

Really lovely photo, Frank. And you’re right, I was not distracted by the water, and the symmetry, the sweetness, stands beautifully.
The colours are exquisite. The long exposure makes the flow of water into something magical.
Very interesting perspective, Frank. I love the variety of textures.
Nice artistic take on this one Frank, beautiful image.
