Talbot Lake

As we headed down the highway on our way to Edmonton, we stopped at Talbot Lake for a few minutes.  The morning sun provided beautiful light across the lake.  And I got more pictures of passing mountains as we drove on.  They were never far away!

 I'm shooting into the sun, but the light over the lake just seemed to have an ethereal quality about it.

Wherever you looked there were mountains in the distance.

Up the hill from us, a walker was apparently trying to approach some Mountain Sheep, perhaps for a picture - but I was really trying for the snow-covered mountain beyond.

The mountains just kept on coming.  I was intrigued with the different types of mountain peaks, from huge jutting flat slabs of rock to jagged ridges to this huge syncline, horizontal layers shaped like a giant bowl.

It's been a dull, cold, windy, and wet day here, but we're hoping for better weather over Thanksgiving weekend.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
