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!
Sedona, Arizona Sometimes, luck plays a major component of capturing that “spectacular photo" and this is one such a photo! "Luck" was definitely with me on this day; not only did Boynton Canyon (Sedona) receive snow, on this day (that I happened to be hiking), but my timing and perspective was spot on! That said though, I had to lie down on a red, sloppy, mud covered hillside to get this shot but it was SO worth it! I love the dark foreground; it anchors the photograph. I also love the weight of the clouds and the hints of blue sky. Notice that the mountain tops are defined by the dark clouds, yet another “lucky me”. The Enchantment Resort is nestled in these Sedona’s mountains, hence this photographs name.
