/ / I took this shot in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada in the fall of 2006. I could have stayed here all day soaking in the view. Hope you enjoy. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / / Shot with Canon Rebel / 3 shots. Handheld. Photomatix to process. / / Featured in: / / Real Life Art Group / All Countries – Streams, Brooks, Creeks, Rivers Group / Rivers, Lakes & Dams / / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / About Me… / / I have always had an interest in photography. I can still remember my very first camera that my parents had given to me when I was about 8 years old. I took that camera everywhere and snapped shots of anything and everything, however it wasn’t until much later in life that I was really bitten by the photography bug. I was planning a big move to the Canadian Rockies and thought now is the perfect time to buy my new camera gear for shooting wildlife. I bought all the equipment I needed that would put me up close with all the wildlife that the mountains had to offer. So off I went chasing Bears, Bighorn sheep, Moose, Elk and Wolves… pretty much any critter I could capture with my lens. It was a fascinating and thrilling experience. Then fate brought to me a girl and she would change my life forever… Newfoundland is where I now call home, with my beautiful wife and baby son. This province is a photographer’s paradise. The scenes change from day to day and the opportunities for capturing them are endless. With my camera in tow I now begin my journey through Newfoundland, photographing and capturing her raw and rugged beauty to share with the world. I hope you enjoy the photographs presented here. Your comments are always welcome. / / To see more of my work please visit my website at www.ontherockphotography.com / / Thanks for stopping by and looking… / / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / IMAGE GALLERIES / / 1000+ Views / 2000+ Views / 4000+ Views / 30000+ Views / THE DARKER SIDE OF LIFE / BOATS & ALL THAT FLOATS / GRAFFITI… THE WRITING’S ON THE WALL / SELECTIVE COLOR / WILDLIFE / SCENERY / ARCHITECTURE / RUINS & FORTS / THE BERGS OF ICEBERG ALLEY / ALL THAT IS FROSTY… / THE ABSENCE OF COLOR… BLACK & WHITE / TRAINS & TRACTORS / STILL LIFE / PEOPLE / / IMAGE GALLERIES / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / / Check out these other amazing photographers / / My Sister / Kim Cinnamon / My Dad / Pfrogg / My Brother / Kelly Kroeker / / -—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / MY IMAGES PUBLISHED IN REDBUBBLE PUBLICATIONS / / In The Moment Competition Winner… / My image Customer Service was published in the Redbubble publication / / / / Gaia The Living Planet Competition Winner… / My image Alpine Oasis was published in the Redbubble publication / / / / MY NEW BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE / Newfoundland… In Living Color / / Click the book cover below for more information and a preview / / / / Newfoundland is one of the most visually arresting places on Earth. The rugged and treacherous coastlines give way only to the unforgiving North Atlantic Ocean. It is a coastline marked with lighthouses that act as ever watching sentinels to welcome weary travellers home. It is a land of beautiful & quaint coastal towns, villages and cities. Newfoundland is a land visited by frozen giants from the North that create a sense of awe when seen by human eyes as they float down what is known as “Iceberg alley”. It is a land visited by massive whales during the summer that attract multitudes to the shorelines. It is a land rich in history and folklore and it is a land inhabited by a people who will welcome you with open arms. It is a land you need to visit… Newfoundland… In Living Color, captures the raw and rugged beauty of a landscape still yet untouched and marred by man’s corrupt hand. It is a tribute to a true Eden and its people that dwell there. / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / SOME OF MY FAVS / click on the image to link to that image / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

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.

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. / Nikon D80 Nikor AFS ED 18-135mm Lens With Circular Polarizing Filter / 415 Views / /

Equipment used: / Nikon D70s / Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC / B&W 62mm Circular Polarisation Location: / Peyto Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada Map: / Road Map , Terrain , Satellite Copyright: / © Brendan Schoon , All rights reserved. Background Information: / Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake itself is easily accessed from the Icefields Parkway. It was named for Ebenezer William Peyto, an early trail guide and trapper in the Banff area. The lake is formed in a valley of the Waputik Range, between Caldron Peak, Peyto Peak and Mount Jimmy Simpson, at an elevation of 1,860 m (6,100 ft). During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake, and these suspended rock particles give the lake a bright, turquoise color. Because of its bright color, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books, and area around the lake is a popular sightseeing spot for tourists in the park. The lake is best seen from Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefield Parkway. The lake is fed by the Peyto Creek, which drains water from the Caldron Lake and Peyto Glacier (part of the Wapta Icefield), and flows into the Mistaya River.

November 11,2006, driving through an early winter squall from Calgary and into Banff National Park, in the Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada. Caught sight of Castle Mountain and stopped to wait until the wind and clouds gave me the view I was looking for. Very cold, but I managed to get several that I liked. I think this one is the best. / The actual name of the mountain is “Castle Mountain” which seemed appropriate for the title. / Sony DSCF828 camera Featured in “Masters of the Scenic” Group / Featured in “AMERICAS ~ Rural, Urban, Wild, Free – Expressions of Artists” Group / Featured in “Retired and Happy , 4 a Day Limit.” / Featured in “Pacific Northwest” / Featured in “Canadiana” / #2 in the Landscapes Challenge of “The Addicted Photographer►2 Per Day◄ group” / #2 in the Mountains Challenge of the “Mood & Ambience”Group” / First Place winner in the New Features Challenge of “Pacific Northwest” / FEATURED ON RB HOME PAGE JUNE 5th. 2009 / Featured in The 500 to 5000 Viewings Group / 1340 views as of Nov. 7, 2009

ARCHITECTURE IS WHERE YOU FIND IT / Architecture is to do with the designing of buildings and structures, but in its broader meaning it also includes the design of our complete built environment. It can be found in outback areas, on mountain peaks, almost anywhere on the land, even on the sea in the form of oil rigs and it surrounds us in our places of abode. We tend to take it for granted and complain when its appeareance doesn’t suit our taste. Architecture provides us with shelter, places to work, gives us points of reference in our urban wilderness, but most important of all, it provides a fundamental basis for the way we live. Architecture is ephemeral, can be a thing of great beauty, and its elements can be pillaged and used as building blocks by successive generations. Past civilizations are often known through their achievements in architecture and certain works have become cultural, political and artistic icons. Presumably a family once lived in this little house at Fernie, British Columbia. It now stands derelict and isolated, yet it seems to exist as a monument to the toil of hard working rural people anywhere. The image was captured during summer 2008 towards the end of a photographic journey through the Canadian Rockies. Thanks for taking the time to view my photos and feel free to comment. You are welcome to visit my photography website My most recent publication ‘ARCHITECTURE WITH CHARACTER’ includes images of this rural house. Click on image below for a preview.

The Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus), also known as the Rocky Mountain Goat, is a large-hoofed mammal found only in North America. Despite its name, it is not a true goat, as it belongs to a different genus. It resides at high elevations and is a sure-footed climber, often resting on rocky cliffs that predators cannot reach…......... The mountain goat is an even-toed ungulate of the order Artiodactyla and the family Bovidae that includes antelopes and cattle. It belongs to the subfamily Caprinae, along with thirty-two other species including true goats, sheep, the chamois, and the musk ox. The mountain goat is the only species in the genus Oreamnos. The name Oreamnos is derived from the Greek term oros (stem ore-) ‘mountain’ (or, alternatively, oreas ‘mountain nymph’) and the word amnos ‘lamb’............. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Photographed in the Kootenay National Park, British Columbia, Canada ............. June 12, 2009 THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VIEWS MY FRIENDS…......xo

Surely one of the most treasured spots to sit and watch as a new day breaks. Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada / July, 2009 Lake Louise, set in the Banff National Park in Canada is perhaps known as the Diamond of the Rockies for no other reason than its sheer beauty alone. Having arrived in Canada on the previous afternoon after a long trans-Atlantic flight, the idea to beat the effects of jet lag were adopted with a 3am alarm call and the chance to shoot Lake Louise in all its splendour at dawn. Following a 45 mins drive from Banff accompanied along the way with storms over the mountains lighting the otherwise black night sky, we arrived at Lake Louise in good time for sunrise. Some may know the lake as a bustling tourist spot with coaches coming and going throughout the day. Dropping off their cargo at the water’s edge to take in the majesty of Louise before whisking them off to a further destination all to the sound of clicking shutters and the gentle whir of digital handy-cams. For Claire and I the experience was to sit alone in silence; the only guests at Natures matinee performance… The dedication to early starts could not be better rewarded.
