Here is a pic taken of the Tower of Babel in Banff National Park yesterday at sunrise. I don't recall every seeing a pic of this mountain yet on FM. The blown out sky in the upper left is a bit of a nuisance but the sun shining on the peak made up for it.

Is this Moraine Lake vicinity? Looks familiar.

Yes sir - directly beside Moraine Lake.... It is also a fairly easy scramble to the top and I would like to do it one day for sunrise.

Nice view - Gary - it is one of my favorite views from the top of the rockpile.

I have posted some similar in the past but I also posted shots of Moraine Lake at the same time, so no one has paid any attention to them.

So good for you for posting the good looking sister of the super model.

[I think a bit wider lens would make it better or a portait orientation since it seems a bit constrained in the composition]

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Scott - It is actually a nice composition which most forget about whilst drooling over Moraine. Do you have any pics taken from the top of the ridge? I'd love to see one...

I agree - its nice - it gets overlooked for moraine lake.

I will look for some better ones but here is what I have on line on smugmug.

Thanks!

Scott - I was hoping for pics taken from the top of the peak you see in the pictures. I would like to scramble to the top but am not sure how the view is... PS - your pics are very nice.

Verne Dewitt is a FM member. Verne does lots of climbing. He will have a picture. I am an old guy and am unlikely to climb unless I know its a great picture. I have long shot pictures of tower of Babel from Larch Trail and other spots but I have not climbed it.
