This is a photo from last year while on a mini road trip from Calgary to Banff in Canada. Barely a road trip, it took only about 1.5 hours to drive, but there was just so much to see along the way that it felt like a road trip. Driving in Australia you almost never see scenery like this…a stunning backdrop of snow capped mountains, and a row of Christmas trees (I know that’s not their real name), behind these cute little highway arches. It took me a few tries to get this photo right, sitting in the passenger seat, camera pointed out the front window while my husband drove. Not all the bridges had a backdrop of mountains and I had to get the distance just right before the mountains were obscured behind the bridge. Not bad for highway speed photography!

lol, thanks. I was definitely surprised when the photo turned out this good, it doesn’t even look like I’m shooting through the glass of the windshield.

Really? You are so lucky, its absolutely stunning. If it was warmer I would definitely love to live in a cabin in the Canadian mountains with bears and dears in my yard.

Oh I love that stretch of road! It is so beautiful and breath taking, nothing like it except maybe the redwoods, that is another story. Your photo almost has a “painterly” look. 🙂

Thank you Margaret, it truly was a beautiful scene. Do you go there often? We went specifically to see Lake Louise and Lake Moraine, so amazing! Photos for a future post…

No, I have only been there once. I remember it when my family and I went through when I was a child and I have never forgotten it. We wanted to stop and camp at Lake Louise but the line of vehicles trying to get in was very, very long and we had to by-pass it and camp somewhere else. I can’t wait to see more of your photos 🙂
