After a few hours of driving to Invermere, we set off for our next destination along the steep, 4-mile climb to Jumbo Pass. The track rises from the forest below Bastille Mountain’s ramparts before the incredible panorama opens out across Jumbo and Karnak Mountains to one side and the stunning Horseshoe Glacier tumbling from the Cauldron Mountain to the other. The only way I can describe the hike is like constantly climbing up a set of stairs, loaded down with 43 pounds of camping and photography gear. We decided to spend the night here, shooting both sunset and sunrise with stunning fields of wildflowers juxtaposed against the rugged peaks. One of the reasons I had opted to do this trip during summer (rather than fall when most photographers head to The Rockies to capture the larches in full color) was because of the wildflowers in bloom. Best showcase of wildflowers I’ve ever seen! Thank you for looking!!

“Beach Day” by susanholtphotography

I took a bit of a break this weekend from working on my mountain images and found myself thumbing through some of my beach photos that I shot earlier this year. I remember on this particular morning out at Bandon Beach the sky was lit up with soft pastels all around me, it was beautiful and reminded me of cotton candy. It was a pleasant surprise to see the beach clear of fog and the subtle hues of pinks and purples splashing the sky. This is one of those moments that I could not help myself and just put my camera down for a few minutes to admire the sunrise. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
