Meteorological Drama

During the four full days I spent in Jasper, the weather was mediocre; more clouds than sun, showers from time to time, daytime temps in the 60s. (15-20C). However, some times you get the best pictures when the weather is a little sketchy. Good examples are these two shots I took of the mountains and clouds east of Jasper on the way back from a trip to Miette Hot Springs, where the Old Sloat soaked his tired flippers for an hour and felt absolutely clean and refreshed afterward.

It almost looks like this pic is backlit in a romantic art tradition...Albert Bierstadt would have enjoyed it! I've said it before, but Jasper is SOOOO fantastic!!
