[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This view into Consolation Valley was taken at the end of the Consolation Lakes Trail in the Moraine Lake area of Banff National Park. My wife and I were taking a break to have some water and a snack, and I noticed some quite nice sunlight breaking through the low-hanging clouds on a cool autumn day. -- All colors natural.

Hi!
Very nice view and colors.
Perhaps a little too hard sharpening?

Regards
Jon :)

Hallo Norbert!
Hier hattest Du aber schwieriges Licht, das Du jedoch wunderbar gemeistert hast. Alle Bereiche des Bildes - Sonnenschein und Schatten - sind gut belichtet und die gezeigte Landschaft ist einfach nur großartig. Man möchte ins Foto hineinwandern ... ;-)
Grüße aus Siegen, trüb und feucht!

Hi Norbert, a perfect landscape, very natural colours, good exposure handling in these difficult light conditions...

Cheers
Alexander

Bonjour, mon ami Norbert,
Vieux troncs penchés au bord des torrents furieux,
Dans votre rêverie éternelle et hautaine,
Songez-vous quelquefois à l'époque lointaine
Où le sauvage écho des déserts canadiens
Ne connaissait encor que la voix des Indiens
Qui, groupés sous l'abri de vos branches compactes,
Mêlaient leurs chants de guerre au bruit des cataractes ?
Il fallait un poème pour rendre hommage à cette très belle réalisation.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Norbert,
Beautiful place and beautilful coulours too. It looks like autumn settles in early in the canadian Rockies. Light conditions are interesting with the mixture of shade and sun and I also like the way land and water seem to mis as well. In fact seeing the water both to the left and right of the picture I get the impression you must have been standing in the middle of the water to take this shot.
Hope all is going well for you and your wife.
Regards,
Bibi

Hello Norbert
A really nice picture of very beautiful and natural place. I like this typical mountain vegetation.
well done

I have seen this on the map, but for some reason I have never make into the Consolation Valley. It looks like a beautiful place, with that perfect carpet of trees which has never been logged. Nice contrast with the bushes which are changing colour and turning golden yellow. Great work!

Bonjour Norbert
Elle est superbe cette photo très bien cadrée. Bon angle de prise de vue pour nous faire admirer ce paysage aux couleurs variées avec beaucoup de choses à regarder.
Bravo - merci pour le partage et bonne soirée.

Hello Norbert,

Une image d'une très belle netteté. La compo est bien vue et les couleurs sont riches en teintes de toute sorte ! La multitude de sapin pointus comme des aiguilles donne une très belle impression !
Bravo !

Hi Norbert,
This is a very nice wilderness composition with good detail, fine colors, and excellent sharpness. Great shot and TFS. Gerald

Hi Norbert. You picked a fine place to take a break. Indeed the light is quite good. I also like the way the small stream meanders its way through the shot. I think a polarizer would have been perfect here. Nice one Norbert.

Hi Norbert,
Do you need Consolation so fast after marriage ? I'd have bet on Enjoyment or Happiness valley... ;-)

Always attractive and inviting the landscapes you display from Canada Norbert. A fine setting here with the fall colours in the foreground vegetation.

Hi Norbert,
This compostion really has a very sophisticated balance. The first impression is of the bright sunlit V of clouds, rocky mountain and the very healthy looking evergreen forest. Then one sees a myriad of mirrors reflecting the sky; the bright autumn colors also brighten the shadows.

It sounds like the pair of you share important interests; congratulations on your wisdom in choosing a mate.
HLJ, Pat

Hi, Norbert. You show us a nice piece of wilderness here. The foreground looks like an island of space in the very dense Canadian forest. The river makes an nice diagonal line pointing to the mountains in the background. The autumn colours are very nice and the clouds make the summit on the left look a little threatening.

Hello Norbert,

Sleeping mode ? Not quite perhaps. But I may go into the sleeping mode one of these days too.
Nice Banff Landscape which brings us the autumn warm colors -
By the way How are you ?
Friendly yours - Izzet
