This is where I spent my Saturday morning. How about you? Bubblers are the people who go out to this lake to see the methane bubbles that appear under the surface of the ice. I was on the verge of freezing to death and had to retreat into the van but the others managed to catch a glimpse of them. I regret it though- next time I’d lose a toe for the photo. For now, I’m not yet a bubbler!

In the midst of the Canadian Rocky Mountains is a lake that expels methane gas. Over the course of the winter, the surface water freezes over, trapping the methane gas in the ice. On clear days, the ice appears crystalline, leaving the frozen methane bubbles highly visible

Abraham Lake in Alberta is well known for these ice bubbles that occur every winter. The plant material at the bottom of the lake produces methane gas which then freezes in the ice.

First trip to the nature of Canada. i’m from Europe so this is pretty special for me especially at the age of 18. Even saw some bears, Canada has some really incredible nature. The nature wasn’t perfect but it made my photos look moody and i like that a lot. This was the first holiday i went on where i was into photography so it was amazing to explore the nature as well as the functions and every detail about my camera.

On my way to Johnston Canyon in Banff when this guy poked its white face out in the blue. I had to drive a bit to find a safe place to stop and get out to take the picture, but I think it turned out ok. This is the kind of image that gives me pause and to reflect on the forces that created the rockies those millions of years ago. What a great way to time travel.

My buddy Jeff and I tried to catch the “blue hour” at Banff yesterday. The clouds got in the way but not before we were able to catch a hint of emerging sunshine contrasted with the blue of the mountains before us. For me, I wished the moment lasted longer; it is quite interesting standing on a frozen lake surrounded by these majestic peaks.

Sometimes, when you are surrounded by a collection of great shots, turning around and lookng up can give a whole new look to your surroundings. That’s what happened here! While my buddy Jeff and I were focused on the mountains directly ahead of us, I turned 180 degrees and saw the first sliver of sun hitting the mountain behind us. I quickly turned around to capture the moment, and it was moment because the sun disappeared very quickly… I think I was lucky.

The Alberta prairies are way underrated! I’m usually quite underwhelmed by the vast emptiness of the prairies, but throw in some backlit cows and baby, you’ve got one heck of an image!

We hiked to capture this gorgeous lake that looks like a Fox. It drizzled on our way up top and then the sun pop out, which made it pretty great with the rainbow.

As we were driving through Banff national park, we happened upon this small lake early in the morning. The mist was just burning off and the waters were so calm, they provided the perfect surface for a stunning reflection of the tree line.

There is something about a huge mountain reflection in a lake that just puts you at ease. Here is another picture from my trip to the Canadian Rockies. Lake Minnewanka at Sunrise.

Two Jack Lake is one of my favorite places to return to. The sunrises here are spectacular as the light hits Rundle Mountain and it reflects in the water. On this particular morning I noticed these stepping stones lent to give me the perfect composition for the spectacular background scenery. Looking back at this picture reminds me how peaceful it is at this lake in the early hours of the day.

This is Lake Louise, and it's iconic emerald blue waters. In the middle left of the image you can see the Big Beehive which is an intense, but incredibly rewarding hike!

The iconic Lake Louise taken from on top of the Big Beehive. This hike took roughly 3 hours but it was incredibly worth it, the views are breathtaking. You can also see the brief snow spell we had passing through in the background.

The most beautiful summer day in Banff, Alberta, spent with my childhood friend of 17 years. There’s really no place like Lake Louise with its pristine blue waters, crisp mountain air and bright summer sun.

Hiking back from the Lake Agnes Tea House towards the Chateau Lake Louise me and my friend thought that Lake Louise was looking extra blue and that we should take a few photos of it. I especially love all the canoes that are stacked up ready for all the tourists.

When we arrived at Lake Louise for our first adventure in Canada’s Banff National Park, we were stunned by its beautiful color and the craggy mountains it was nestled between. As we hiked up for increasingly stunning views, we were able to catch glimpses of the lake. This shot shows Mirror Lake (foreground) and Lake Louise (background).

We had just finished up our day out in the wilderness of banff, and we were driving back into town. traffic slowed a bit, and we wondered what was going on. As we seemed to get close to what was causing the delay, I happened to look out my window and see this beautiful buck casually grazing. Thankfully my camera was sitting on my lap, and while we were sitting there, I was able to snap this picture.

This was taken near the Lake Agnes Tea house where me and my friend hiked too. We had lunch at the tea house and I thought that this would make for a beautiful photo. I loved that the snow hadn’t fully melted and that the lake is still largely frozen over even in late May.

It was coming on the tail end of our North American road trip. Alberta was the final destination after driving up the Pacific Coast. As soon as we crossed from British Columbia into Alberta, this mother Grizzly and her cub were eating flowers beside the road. I had just bought a super zoom specifically for this trip and I’m so thankful I did. We pulled over on the other side of the road and we were dead silent - Knowing how bears can be. My first time seeing a Grizzly and my first time in Alberta.
