MALIGNE LAKE, JASPER, ALBERTA, CANADA

Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 18 March 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This view is on many of the Jasper postcards. It is only accessible by boat.

Well! I am back and missed being away so long due to ill health. It was a bit of a struggle to find energy to stay on my computer and post. My daughter Lesley and her husband Robin, gave me this wonderful gift of a cruise to Alaska and Lesley and I had a whale of a time! I could just live on that ship - absolutely wanted for nothing! Hope to hear from you all! Don't know how much I can get around posting comments - so will probably have to keep them brief - but will try to get around as much as I can! Thanks to all my friends for their good wishes!

Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! I am a bit out of practice at both taking and editing decent photographs - so help me if you can!

It's a beautiful scene, Anne. Places like this can be remembered a lifetime.

If only by boat, then I am so glad you took us there visually. This is intensely beautiful wilderness.

Beautiful indeed, Anne! We're typical Albertans and have a painting of this(well, my Mom and Dad do). You've got another spot on this from scanning but I like how the b/w gives it such depth including the slight overexposure of the background mountains.

That really looks to me like land unspoilt by “civilisation”. Truly a wonderful capture. It has the total feel of a haven in the wild. Priceless beauty.

Ah! That's why I didn't see this view; I didn't take the boat! It's a classic that works very well in mono, Anne.

I have one or two different views of this lake (and others) from a trip to this region. What a wonderful place to live.

@Colin: Thanks for visiting Colin. This is a very old scanned photo from when I used to get around the mountains regularly when I lived in Calgary,Alberta. I didn't get out to the mountains much after my husband died, even though it was only 50 minutes or so to drive from where I lived The originals of some of these I hadn't taken care of very well and this one was faded.
After four more years I came out here to the coast to live, I have a daughter and family here and my sons live in the interior of BC in the Okanagon valley. I don't think I will get the chance to go back again there, none of the family want to drive so far (between 650 and 700 miles from here) They would rather go to Mexico. I do want to make another trip back to England though where I hailed from in 1967 - before I get too old and decrepit to get around and re-take all the photos I have of London and Yorkshire (I lived in Otley and Leeds before moving to Canada in 1967) which are on transparency film. Scanning a lot is for the birds once you have a digital cameral! :-)
