CREATED MAGNIFICENCE
This is Vimy Ridg In Wateron Glacier National Park Located on the Canadian Side in Southern Alberta.
This National Park is a World Heritage Site and is also dedicated as Waterton International Peace Park
I have been told that this shot is rarely captured, due to the frequency of the winds around this area.
My Aunt and My Grandmother have tried for years and never had the opportunity to capture this Mountain and its mirrored image before and they live here.
I have searched hundreds of Pictures and have seen only one single Mirrored Image of this Mountain on the Internet there has to be more I’m sure. I have been back several times to take more shots but the water was too choppy, as the winds are almost always blowing, I was Extremely fortunate to have captured this shot.
For more Historical Information on “Vimy Ridge” I found a site link below for you to check out.

Jason D. Lader...
LOL All those years LOL
I just stopped the Car walk down by the lake adjusted my tripod attached the camera and Click click click paned around a bit click click click LOL then I went home and well my Grandma’s is quite proud but others seem to be miffed about how easy I obtained the shot LOL the worse thing about it is it had been a spontaneous trip down here with a friend, didn’t even plan on being in Waterton but LOL I like how it turned out I’m glad I can share it and I’m glad you appreciate it Tainia ;O)
LOL I feel like I’m bragging, yeah I guess I am really trying not to just trying to tell like it happened is all. LOL If my aunt reads this she is gonna smack me LOL

Wow ! one of those rare shots that would’nt matter which way you turned it it would still look the same ! beautifully done Jas and great colours
Jason D. Lader... replied
;O) Thanks True
I did not quite nail it as I was fully equipped with the understanding but the next time the wind is calm and the mountain is reflecting I will be sure to get the shot, and then try some new inspirations Thank you once again Trudi ;O)

this is a stunning photo, so it’s in Waterton NP? Thought it looked familiar :-))
Jason D. Lader... replied
Oh!? You have been there, wow isn’t it unforgettable?!! I would have said unforgivable but now that I live in the neighborhood (So to speak) I can get out there a bit more easily. I really appreciate your comments.
Robert Jenner
Excellent work…... hey all my pictures are stopping the car and just snapping away, amazing what you capture…. Rob J :)
PS
Check out my lizard in my art work… I just held the camera under the stairs and there he was…

Jason D. Lader... replied
LOL That is Hilarious hey thanks for sharing the like mindedness I have put the brakes on shooting from the car, I now at least stop and get out to Compose and Click, and I have set some new goals that actually involves me going for a hike away from the car LOL and since then I have decided to stick to the fact that I need to be more active when I get the opportunity LOL However if I’m driving like others I’m sure one hand on the wheel and the other well is almost a camera LOL
Thanks Robert :O)
Caroline Gorka
This deserves a title …but not a trite one.
Jason D. Lader... replied
Thanks Caroline, yes you are right, I have left it as Temporarily untitled in hopes of suggestions that may be befitting of even help to inspire a title.
Thank you Caroline ;O)
rebelgirl
Excellent work love it :)
Jason D. Lader... replied
Thanks Rebelgirl, it is scenes like this that make me feel fortunate for having moved away from the city, and has allowed me to adjust to a life style of calm and tranquility, where as in the city I would not have the time to appreciate these things are they tend to be out of reach being such a distance away.
Spiritinme

Remarkable image….....your patience has been greatly rewarded!!
Jason D. Lader... replied 18 days ago
Well the truth is Patience had nothing to do with it LOL My Late friend and I were on our way out of the Park to Calgary when I notice the reflection, I mounted my camera on the tripod and before he could stop the car I was headed for the Shore to Snap this before the Wind picked up. I had just finished snapping a dozen or so Shots at different Focal Lengths several People had pulled off to do the same but no one got a shot, however my friend’s exuberant remarks brought about a bit of a show and tell people asked me to email them a copy LOL.
