Photo-Finish Friday -- The Moon and the Mountainside



The moon in the daytime against the mountainside offers an otherworldly cast to this scene found along the Jasper-Banff Highway.

Very, very nicely done. Makes me want to be there.

Chris said...

Love it.

Leah J. Utas said...

Me, too. Thanks, Cousin.

Thanks so much, Messymimi.

Chris, thanks.

Stunning! A bit eerie, are we exploring new worlds? Love the perspective.

Leah J. Utas said...

Reb, it would be so cool if we could.

Thanks. I thought you might.

You are so lucky to live in such a wonderful landscape! I could sit and watch the mountains forever.

The moon looks like it's going to bounce off the mountain and shoot back up in the sky.

Me, too, Redbush. They're wonderful.

Mary Anne, you're absolutely right.

I've only ever been on that stretch of road once - and it was over 40 years ago - but I'll never forget its majesty. It's about as nice a piece of real estate as we have in Canada.

Once you've seen it, Frank, it never leaves you. Of all the places I've seen that roadway is my favourite.

That is an amazing photo! The light must have been tricky, but you captured the beauty of it perfectly. Seriously love that. Will you have it framed? If I took a shot that great I'd want to see it every day.

Leah J. Utas said...

Crabby, thanks so much. I played around with the settings and took several versions of this scene. I never thought of getting it framed.

Hilary said...

Strikingly beautiful shot, Leah. I'd love to get out west one day.

Leah J. Utas said...

I hope you do, Hilary. Thanks.
