Christmas in Banff

[casil403]

Shots from my holiday in Banff AB. I will post in this thread as I go:
Caught a pretty sweet sunrise at Vermillion this morning. Did my fave thing which is to take a taxi to the end of the lakes and hike back to town. It is so much more fun to do it this way rather than drive it by car. So many more viewing points to discover and the walk is so very pretty!

Looking southwest down Vermillion Lakes...I can never remember the name of this mountain but tomorrow I am heading over there to a place called Sundance canyon.

This is Echo Creek continuing on my walk back to town.....

Desaturated almost BW version of the Beaver pond.. I caught it during the "blue hour" but it was a little too blue for my liking.
Bambi know this area well as I took her there when she was out visiting. One of my fave places to shoot from.

A look east to the Palliser Range and the Sleeping Buffalo (Tunnel Mountain) on the right.
