In the heart of Waterton Lakes National Park (located in the province of Alberta, Canada) a small glacier stream has quietly and steadily, over eons of time, cut a deep valley through an iron rich vein of red stone.
This place is aptly named Red Rock Canyon and it's my favourite place in the world. Making VAST photos here is particularly challenging due mostly to the temperature of the water, which comes from local glaciers, making it freezing cold! I wear full wetsuit pants with built in socks when shooting here as it's impossible to stand in the water for more than few seconds otherwise. If you fall into the water you better get out quick as hypothermia will get you within a few minutes. The beauty and seclusion of the canyon along with the cold, clear fresh water (which is the best tasting water in the world) provide for an absolutely beautiful experience.
Taken early in the morning so the canyon will be in even shaded lighting for the duration of the over 700 individual exposures, this image has a hauntingly beautiful feel. In either color or black and white this is a stunning image with unbelievably high resolution and enlarging power.
