Long Ago and Far Away IV

Long ago in a different life I spent a year as a chef de partie at the Chateau Lake Louise.  In my off time I took full advantage of being young and in good shape and with camera in hand i did a LOT of hiking.  Ill be posting the images from those hikes over the next few days.  All images taken in 1992-1993.

Looking South from on top of the Big Beehive past Lake Louise to Mt. Aberdeen and Mt. Victoria.

This first image is of the trail system map / sign directly surrounding the Chateau, and is placed 1/2 way on the hike to the Lake Agnes tea house and Big Beehive.  It was my first major hike (tea house > bee hive > connect to the plain of 6 trail)

Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful
as a face in a crowd of people
that lights up just for you?

Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful
as when you wake
by the side of that boy or girl
who has pledged their love to you?

Well I have known all these things
and the joys that they can bring
And now every morning there’s a cup of coffee
and I wear your ring

Cowboy Junkies:  Anniversary Song

Summer flowers, where are my summer days?

Here in the depths of a canadian winter i developed a nice surprise the other day, a roll from this past summer!  Via the hassy, a roll of old Kodak VPS expired somewhere around 1998.  love those colours!  some Lazy Eyed Susans and Daisy’s for your day, as well as a field of dreams.

Mer Bleue

3 shots from a recent walk out to the mer bleue bog in the middle of our Canadian winter.  it was cold, was worried about the film freezing, but all was good.  finished off a roll of Acros 100 and a really old roll of Kodak VPS
