The Icefields Parkway by Amanda White

Considered one of the most scenic highways in the world, the Icefields Parkway offers an ever-changing view of waterfalls, emerald lakes, alpine meadows and snow-capped peaks. For two hundred and thirty kilometres, from Lake Louise to the Jasper townsite, the Parkway winds along the shoulder of the Great Divide and passes by the spectacular mountains of the Eastern Main Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. It follows the headwaters of three major rivers and crosses two major passes en route.

Be Still My Soul by Jason Laderoute

Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side; / Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; / Leave to thy God to order and provide; / In every change He faithful will remain. / Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav’nly Friend / Thro’ thorny ways leads to a joyful end. Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake / To guide the future as He has the past. / Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; / All now mysterious shall be bright at last. / Be still, my soul: the waves and wind still know / His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below. Be still, my soul: the hour is hast’ ning on / When we shall be forevr with the Lord, / When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone. / Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored. / Be still, my soul: when changes and tears are past, / All safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Written By Katharina von Schlegel, 1752; trans. by Jane Borthwick, 1855 (Ps. 46:10)

Lorette Ponds in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, are 5 small ponds that were formed by the diversion of the Kananaskis River. They are often stocked with rainbow trout and fishing is permitted. There is a nice little bridge where you can cross from one side to the other with a paved walking trail all around the ponds. My friends and I built an Inukshuk on the banks of this pond in September 2006, I will check this year when I go back to see if was left there or destroyed. Kananaskis Country is a park located southwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. / Canon EOS Rebel XTi; Canon 18-55mm lens / Inukshuk / They are monuments made of unworked stones that are used by the Inuit for communication and survival. The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is “Someone was here” or “You are on the right path.” / (http://www.inukshukgallery.com/inukshuk.html) /

For those who love the vastness, splendour and wildness of the Canadian Rockies this group is for you. Share your stories, photographs and art of this great (as yet) unspoiled landscape. We may also find ways to cooperate to help protect it. Photos of the wildlife that make up the Rocky Mountains are also welcome. Please make sure photos are of the mountains and its beauty (landscapes, wildlife, flora, fauna, and such). Event photos are better suited to the Canada group.
Canada is a wonderful place and the Rocky Mountains make it that much more special.

All photos must have been taken in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and are 100% Canadian Rocky Mountains.
What are the Canadian Rocky Mountains? See this MAP

PLEASE INDICATE WHERE IN THE CANADIAN ROCKY MOUNTAINS YOUR PICTURES OR ART ARE FROM.

Poor quality photos will be rejected, and so will most black and white photos, unless they add drama that could not have been captured in colour.
