This guy ("Frosone") was watching for dangers while other was eating. Really a good guy!

I am back from the last trip and finally able to process a couple of photos. I can't thank Jonathan enough for his local expertise. The first one was taken with the two of us walking near a local elk herd.

This second shot was taken Friday night. My co-worker and I decided to make a crazy drive to Athabasca Falls (3.5 hrs from Banff), but that way we could drive through the Icefields parkway (aptly named, it was blizzard like on the way back) which I hadn't seen since I was a kid. I have a couple of shots of the falls I am still working on, but let's just say, now that I've been there, I would not consider the vantage point where the "amazing" shots I had seen online where photographed to be all that safe and definitely not from one of the approved locations.

So, on the way back, we stopped by this view point and I shot this of the Athabasca River:

Last weekend there was a local trail running competition spiced up with some obstacles.

Yesterday I had some fun with a glass and some red wine (both during and after shooting ;-).

Sorry for the little delay... I'm trying to get ready for my wedding and I forgot a few things in the process.

After looking at this week's pictures, I wish I had completely forgotten. That's probably the best selection of pictures I have seen since I started judging here on TDP. I went back and forth many times, especially between gerard's "Bleecker Street", sedwards "field of dream", ZGTphoto's "dragonfly in autumn", cls "Saturday" and Brant's "Consolation prize". In the end "Saturday" gets the nod, because I think it's a great picture and something we're less used to see on this forum. And unfortunately I really have to pick a winner :p .
Congrats cls !

Congrats Cls!

great pick Tounis!

Thanks guys, I’m honored!
