Children of Nature

Taken last week at beautiful Jasper National Park while on honeymoon.

What an absolutely incredible place the Canadian Rockies is!! Luckily

I was allowed to bring my camera and the sunrises were at such a

reasonable time that I managed to catch a few. This one was actually a

sunset. I had been sitting outside of our cottage reading a book and

drinking a beer, all the while keeping an eye on the ever changing

light. As the sky started to grow more orange, I grabbed my bag and

wandered down to the jetty, only about 20 yards away and snapped a few

shots. It really was a dream location!!! I named the shot after a

famous quote that I heard British TV presenter Ray Mears say in one of

his programmes (not his quote though):

 

Travel a thousand miles by train and you are a brute;

 

Pedal five hundred miles on a bicycle and you remain basically bourgeois;

 

Paddle a hundred miles in a canoe and you are already a child of nature.

Thanks for viewing.

Fantastic sense of depth, really nice image

Excelente imagen de gran impacto visual, perfecta luz y color, gran encuadre y una magnifica composicion, saludos cordiales Adam.

Congrats on getting married. I love the detail on the boats and perfect simplified composition. This is a very common subject to shoot. I've seen Patrick's and others but your version is very unique.

Great picture, and thanks for the detail and description of how this photo came to be.

Fantastic photograph Adam! Composition is very original, colours of sunset are totally striking and everywhere excellent sharpness.

Great rendition of this familiar scene Adam. Remarkable colours which bathes everything beautifully. Unfortunately it looks like there are a lot of anonymous pricks around at the moment and they got this shot. Congratulations too.

Great colourful shot Adam. Once again superbly composed and very dynamic. Everything looks spot on to me alas it is like finding a golden nugget in a bucket of aluminium washers, I nearly didn't find it at all.

Pyramid Lake resort by any chance?? a beautiful spot indeed, and an equally beautiful memory captured in this image. love the persepctive, and the warm glow off the canoe is glorious. i look forward to seeing more of your work from Jasper.
