I recently returned from my first ever trip to Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. I’m surprised I’ve never been motivated to make this trip before and it was actually my first ever trip to Canada period. I timed it to coincide with the change in foliage for peak autumn color and wasn’t disappointed. Most of my trip was met with clear blue skies, which is great for vacations but not so great for photography. My last morning however had some great skies and I knew I wanted to capture the autumn color in the willows at Bow Lake. I had this spot already picked out from a previous day and headed there at first light and it was probably one of my favorite images from the trip.
