Kootenay National Park photos

I went into Kootenay National Park for the first time since I was small. I don't remember much of it from back then so it was all new to me. There were large forest fires here in 2003.

There was a chill and a still in the air that burned the the experience into my memory. It was as if we were the only people for miles and miles and years and years. The quiet made it feel like time stood still in this valley, and only the running water of the Simpson River betrayed its magic. It was really beautiful and surreal.

Your photographs suggest such a quiet isolation. They are beautiful!

Thank you for the kind words. I think that must be a good time to visit the park as there were very few people. I felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, and we pretty much did. It's a huge space to play in.
