now that's what I call mountains

Well, ok, not this. This is Bow River Falls in Banff.




Then we headed to Jasper....

I'm not nearly eloquent enough to describe the beauty of the Rockies and, as far as I'm concerned, there is one button on a camera. So there is no way any of my photos can do justice to the place either. All I can say is that it is truly spectacular and, although the day started grey and cold and threatening rain. The JJ jinx worked and we were bathed in sunshine for most of the journey and it was a fantastic ride. My breath has most definitely been taken from me.

Lake Louise



Just a bit further along the road to Jasper




Nice road with the scent of burning brakes from all the cars going downhill ;)


Columbia Ice fields




Yes, we can still muck up a perfectly good photo..

    I would like to have taken some pictures like that (also but not only because it would mean being there) :)

  2. Truely amazing scenery!!! Thanks for sharing the photos....if only to make us all (well, at least me definitely) VERY envious.
    I have been dreaming with living at the foot of the Rockies, even without having been there before, but have not got there yet, not even as a traveller...one day...one day...
