water

Water in its myriad forms, colors, strengths, and settings is such a compelling substance.  Below are just a few of these.

Athabasca River, Jasper National Park, Canada

Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park, Canada

The water, which is fed by the Daly Glacier of the Waputik Icefield, falls about 1260 ft (384 m) making it one of the highest falls in Canada.  Takakkaw means "magnificent" in Cree.

...along the Athabasca River in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.  The sky is wrapped in clouds and so are the mountains making for an ethereal atmosphere. 

The river itself is a milky gray or liquid silver due to the high content of glacier flour (ground up rock in suspension).

along the Athabasca River outside cabins which are located on the Icefield Parkway in Jasper National Park, Canada (Becker's Roaring River Chalets).  We stayed here in September, 2012.  (a good restaurant, by the way!)
