The Cowboy Trail is 700 kilometres of incredibly scenic driving along the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The southern section is one of my favourite photo locations; there’s never a bad season to experience the foothills, mountains, ranches and waterfalls. (Here’s proof from winter: https://wp.me/p2ccTX-EX.) This pond grabbed my attention and when I found the right spot, the glowing mix of clouds and blue sky completed the picture. Nikon D7100, tripod, polarizing filter, graduated density (darkening) filter on the sky.

You sure did find the right spot, Frank. I very much enjoyed this serene and expansive photo in the Canadian Rockies foothills.
