Stump, Grassi Lake #1

This photograph, taken during the first workshop I gave in 2003, was on one of the hikes above the township of Canmore on the road to Spray Lakes. There’s quite a steep walk uphill with several interesting stopping points. This is one of two very small lakes right at the end of the trail. They’re more like ponds than lakes really. I took several different photos of this scene, both with and without filters, and also in black & white and colour. Another good thing about this trail is that you can drive to the top of it and work your way down, making it a much easier trek. I didn’t know this when I scouted the location in the summer of 2002 but was glad to know it when we went back with the workshop group.
