On Wednesday, I went to Assiniboine. Assiniboine is a British Columbia Provincial Park just below Banff National Park in Alberta.
I went in with some of my friends who were keen hikers. I have been to Assiniboine so I was okay with travel shots (without the tripod). However I met two guys at the lodge who were keen photographers so I showed them the way up the the best (in my opinion) spot to Assiniboine.
Even after scouting the site in the light and seeing grizzly bear diggings, they agreed to go hiking with me in the dark.
We tried it on the first morning (5AM start, hiking with head lamps 1 hour in the 5\" snow at -10c and then standing in the wind until fingers and feet were numb). I was surprised how well people from Indiana and Brussels could walk in the dark. But the snow came in and the pictures were not great.
So then I hiked with my hiking friends after returning for breakfast.
Surprisely they were up for it again on the 2nd morning. But now at -15c and icey. Anyway the 2nd morning was fantastic (until the fingers were numb).
Here are the best of my pictures for two days in the fall.
