This an interesting photo that defines The colored streaks on the mountain side. My guess is that the line patterns are the result of avalanches over the years. Now with the sun low in the evening. The foreground is darker than the mountain top. The warm sun is highlighting the exposed rock created by the avalanche.
The evening was getting quite late. I came to a sharp bend in the highway. The mountains were glowing from the setting sun, I quickly set up the camera and tripod. I was able to capture this scene.
Five kilometres in length,The Steeples form the southern end of the Hughes Range that lies to the east of the Kootenay Valley from east of Columbia Lake to the Bull River that enters the Kootenay at the town of Bull River.
I was standing up on a hill looking into this river valley. A railway track to the left. The river flowing past. The foreground lit by the sun. The mountain darkening.
Evening has come. The lighting is soft. The fields are dry. No rain.
It was marvelous to look across the field towards the mountains, the West Kootenay Mountains near Cranbrook BC
Premier Lake, Premier Provincial Park, BC
Late evening, low lighting
A touch of yellow. Dense evergreen forests. Rock structure. Plenty of driftwood.
This made for a nice misty, dreamy scene. Simple and effective.
Very strong on the greens in various shades.
A hint of reflections
I wrote this poem for my beautiful wife as we weather the storm
This is for you
A love so true
You are always close
Not so far away
Sometimes when I am down
You are always around
You are such a gift
In one another. we believe
This is for you
A love so true
A love so true
A dream come true
The days are never long
When I know I belong
Lost in your love
A dream come true
It is good to be
In your arms again
Close to your heart beat
It is always a treat
This is for you
A love so true
A love so true
A dream come true
When I look into your eyes
I see the sunlight
Ever so bright
I love you so
This is for you
A love so true
You are always close
Not so far away
This is for you
A love so true
A love so true
A dream come true
I continued hiking and searching for photo opportunities outside of Cranbrook. I spotted this particular scene with added color. With the mountains in the background. Color on the ground for the foreground made for a pleasing scene.
Of interest was I noticed signs of Mule deer. There was an area where they bedded for the night. A pond was near by.
I created this beautiful Panoramic at Whiteswan Lake in Whiteswan Provincial Park BC . The original size measured 51 inches by 16 inches.

I discovered this interesting rock face of this portion of the Rocky Mountains, North of Cranbrook BC on to Fort Steele. I traversed the Kootenay Highway . By adjusting my camera angle, creating a tight composition I managed to capture this image.
The first lake you come to is Alces Lake. It is located in Whiteswan Provincial Park BC. I stopped for lunch at the back end of Alces Lake. There was a small cove here, sheltered from the cold wind.
