*A Full Format (larger image) available upon request. My favorite place to park my RV for the night is off-grid, with Mother Nature. It's here that I've had the most amazing, non-intrusive views, the best meals and glasses of wine (yes, the very best of times!). Losee Canyon was one such place. As I approached Bryce Canyon from the west, I was pondering where we might spend the night when I suddenly noticed a gravel road. I quickly slowed down and without any further thought or discussion, I turned. The road was in poor condition (and dusty) so I decided I wouldn't venture too far from the main highway. Then, to our complete surprise, we happened upon a staging area and trailhead! It was the very most, perfect off-grid parking spot to stay in for the night! Who would have thought, so close to Bryce Canyon! Although it was a dreary and cold when we arrived, we still hiked part of the trail. Oh gosh, we were so very amazed by the trail, we vowed to hike it again in the morning. The next morning we got up early, with plans to hike and explore even further than the night before. We were so pleased that the weather had cleared and although it was cold, the colors were amazingly vivid. When this bluff came into view I pointed, "Look at the strange formation, and look at the colors!". I have not done any color corrections to this photo, it is exactly as I saw it. LOL, we didn't hike very far; we were too busy taking photographs! * I love the foreground tree!
Don’t you think it’s absolutely wonderful when a photo can bring back a special memory, or a touching emotion? This photo does that for me; it reminds me to be thankful of our amazing world, and its tranquil beauty (which I cherish so deeply). It too reminds me that I'm getting older and that the 25 kilometers that my friend and I trekked that day, was a bit much (lol)! Mount Revelstoke's trails range from short, to long, to steep and tough climbs. They too offer some spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding glacier mountains, tall alpine trees and lush meadows surrounded by wildflowers. Bear warnings are often in affect here, as they were on the day we hiked. This photo is of Eva Lake, one of 3 lakes in the area. Notice, that in this photo, I chose not to include the mountain's top and sky (though it is in the original). I often have to remind myself that it’s okay to crop out the sky. In this shot for example, had I included the sky, it would have fought for your attention; your eye would have been drawn away from vertical cluster of trees (which is my intended point of interest). Also, although there's a lot of "wasted" space on the left side of this photograph, it does add balance and strength of the point of interest. *To date, this is my most memorable and favorite hike; well worth the effort!
