Yesterday Was Here and Went (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Yesterday Was Here and Went But I’m here right now And that’s all that matters When I am amongst mountains Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in Banff National Park while taking in the setting at Morant’s Curve. The view is looking to the west as the Bow River flows by. My thought on composing this image was to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and create a sweeping view across this valley, leading up to the more distant mountains. I felt that bringing the peaks and ridges higher into the image would help to create more of a sense of grandeur with this setting. The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

In My Mind Mountains Rise (Banff National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: In My Mind Mountains Rise With an Afternoon Glow of Sunshine For me to stand in awe Charmed with woods An evergreen smell A Fresh Feel of Waters Flowing by to a distant place A Wednesday to Enjoy Even if only now in memories Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon at Morant’s Curve in Banff National Park. This is at an overlook along the Bow Valley Parkway with a view looking to the southeast. The downstream view is not the typical one at this location as most focus on looking to the mountains around the Lake Louise area with the Bow Range. But as I read a web article a few years back, it\'s important to look other directions and capture that beauty present.
