**🌊 40+ YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY… AND THIS ONE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL! 🍂📸**

In more than 40 years of photographing waterfalls, I’ve captured countless scenes of moving water, but this image from **Yoho National Park in British Columbia** has quickly become one of my all-time favourites!

Photographed on October 3, 2026, during a cold, wet day of rain and snow, this scene has everything I love about waterfall photography. A spruce tree frames the left side of the image, while the river flows over and around rain-soaked rocks, splitting around a massive rock in the middle before seemingly disappearing behind the rocks in the foreground.

But there’s a little secret to this scene! 😉

The photograph was taken just above **Natural Bridge Falls**, where the powerful waters of the Kicking Horse River disappear beneath the natural rock formation. What looks like a river vanishing behind the foreground rocks is actually the water flowing underneath the rock itself!

The overcast skies and soaking-wet rocks brought out incredibly rich, vivid colours and textures. Sometimes, the best photography days aren't the sunny ones!

📸 **The camera details:**
• Camera: Fujifilm X-T50
• Lens: Fujifilm 15–45mm at 15mm
• Shutter speed: 1/4 second, handheld
• Aperture: f/22
• ISO: 125

Everything just came together perfectly in this image. The composition, the flowing water, the rich colours and the atmosphere of that cold autumn day all worked together exactly as I had hoped.

In fact, I loved this photograph so much that I’ve already printed a copy and have it on display in my office. It’s a wonderful reminder of just how special that day in the mountains was.

**Sometimes, you don't just take a photograph… you capture a feeling you want to experience all over again. ❤️**

What do you think? Would you hang a photograph like this in your home?

🍂 **STOP SCROLLING… AUTUMN LIGHT DOESN’T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!** 🌅

There’s something magical about those quiet fall mornings when the rising sun transforms an ordinary scene into something extraordinary.

While walking around Henderson Lake in Lethbridge, I caught the early morning sun breaking through the trees at the east end of the lake, lighting up the cannon and the surrounding golden grass. For a few beautiful moments, everything seemed to glow.

Fall may be far too short in Southern Alberta, but when the light is this spectacular, it reminds me why I love getting out with my camera. Sometimes, all it takes is being in the right place at the right time. 📸

Have you noticed how beautiful Lethbridge can be in the early morning light?

Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park, British Columbia

October 2, 2026, was an amazing day to be out photographing in Yoho National Park.

A rain / snowstorm had just moved through the Rockies, leaving the rocks wet bringing out the deep colours and textures of the rock faces. Takakkaw Falls cascaded down the mountainside while wisps of cloud drifted in front of the falls and the mountain.

Off to the left, a tree beginning to show subtle shades of yellow and orange was a reminder that autumn is quickly giving way to winter.

Cool temperatures, rain, snow and ever-changing skies created exactly the kind of conditions I love for photography. Sometimes the best photographs happen when the weather isn't perfect.

On a cold, fog-filled morning in Banff National Park, a CP Rail freight train winds its way around Morant’s Curve, slowly disappearing into the mist as it heads west through the Canadian Rockies.

The train and the surrounding forest fade into the fog in the distance, creating a wonderful sense of depth and mystery. Just beyond the train, the Bow River can barely be seen through the mist, adding another subtle layer to the scene.

Framing the foreground are two striking trees—a beautiful spruce on the left and a brilliant orange autumn tree on the right. Their rich colours stand in sharp contrast to the cool, muted tones of the fog and mountains beyond.

It is a scene that captures the rugged beauty of the Rockies, where railway, river, forest and changing seasons come together in one quiet and atmospheric moment.

Peyto Lake, Banff National Park Canada. Friday October 2, 2026 the evening was wet and cold as the clouds could not decide whether to rain or snow. Fresh snow on the mountains around Peyto Lake and even on the side of the trail leading to the lake indicated that winter had arrived in the mountains.

I love the clear spot in the clouds on the right. To me the clouds indicate the arrival of winter and that clear spot is the last part of summer slowly shrinking.

Natural Bridge, Yoho National Park. A doctors appointment in Calgary and a couple hours later I find myself in Yoho Park enjoying a rain / snow storm and taking some pictures of an amazing place. The rain makes the rocks so dark and rich. Glad most of my customers understand my wanderings.

Driving into Lethbridge from the East I could see the sun slowly rising behind me. It was a perfect morning, as the sun rose it was framed by the trees and the road seem to be leading into it. Some mornings are just more perfect than others.

Having a break on a rock at Cameron Lake in Waterton Lakes National park when a number of California tortoiseshell butterflies showed up. I think, like me, they were enjoying the heat from the rocks.

This Osprey had an amazing vantage point on the Waterton River, in Waterton Lakes National Park on Sunday September 20, 2026. This dead tree allowed it to scan the river looking for an afternoon snack.
