Long Ago and Far Away VIII
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.
these are the final set of the series. sometimes i find it hard to believe that these are 22 years gone. at times, it feels like yesterday, sometimes it feels like it was just a long strange dream that you awake from with a longing in your heart. at this stage of my life, with all i know i have in front of me, i doubt ill ever get back to these mountains much less be able to live there, and that, honestly, pains my heart more than anything i have thought of for a while. it hurts in a way that losing a parent, being fired, or divorcing ever did. how weird is that? i dont understand the ache it causes so for the most part i have to shut it off or it overwhelms and i just get pissy to those in my life now, and thats not fair to anyone. i take some solace in that at least i had some time in this beautiful place, i have those memories. i hope you enjoyed the series.
