Water


Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada
very moody landscape with the silvery blue river winding into the distance and cloud covered snowy mountains in the background 


Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada
Flowing from the Daly Glacier of the Waputik Icefield, Takakkaw Falls is one of the highest waterfalls in Canada at 1246 ft (380m).  Takakkaw means "magnificent" in Cree.

    They're all great photos, but the teal blue waters of Saint Maartin make me want to go on my trip to Mexico right now!
    I love your windshield photo too :)

    Wow, that picture of Jasper National Park is magnificent. I want to make it my computer desktop image but I think I'll be distracted and think about relaxing too much to get anything done.

    The Sint Maartin photo is a beauty. I visited my brother when he lived in Vlaardingen which was not too far from Sint Maartin -- it's a gorgeous area!

    I love both Jasper and Banff. We love being so close to the ocean here in Brunswick, even with a hurricane approaching.

    Beautiful shots of water, all of them. Whenever we go to Banff I'm struck by the particular shade of blue/green of the water. It's stunning, and I've never photographed it accurately.

    Margaret, those pictures are stunning! I love how the waves hit the shore on Sint Maarten! Amazing!
    I used to live near water and I miss it.
    have a great week,

    I am always drawn to wonderful water.

    Perhaps because I live in a desert!

    Or perhaps, in this case, just because your pictures are so magnificent!

    Thank you for sharing them.

    A+
