Photographer’s Note
This picture I took when we went on our way to Jasper.
We came across this big mountain, called Mount Robson.
At this viewpoint I took some lovely shots and this is one of them.
Here's some info on the mountain itself:
Mount Robson (or Robson Peak) is the highest point in the Canadian Rockies. Mount Robson is located entirely within Mount Robson Provincial Park of British Columbia. It is commonly thought to be the highest point in BC, but that distinction is held by Mount Fairweather. Mount Robson was named in 1915 by Colin Robertson, an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company. Other unofficial names include Cloud Cap Mountain, Snow Cap Mountain, Yuh-hai-has-kun, and The Mountain of the Spiral Road.
Mount Robson boasts great vertical relief over the local terrain. From Berg Lake the mountain rises almost 8,000 feet to the summit. The north face of Mount Robson is heavily glaciated and 800 metres (2600 feet) of ice plunge down from the top to the shores of Berg Lake. The south side of the mountain rises almost 10,000 feet from base-to-summit.

Hello Nel,
Good point of view and a nicely composed image!
I like to see how clouds are wrapping the summit...
Image gives a good impression of the wildness of this landscape!

Hoi Nel, wat een prachtig uitzicht op Mount Robson.
Zeer goede compo, met op de voorgrond de donkere dennebomen en op de achtergrond deze grootse bergen.
Ja dan voel je je als mens maar nietig.
Prachtig!!! gr. Jack

Love the way the chaotic fractal geometry of the clouds contrasts with the linear snow highlights on the mountains. I also liked the workshop pic from Inna.
