low-angle view of mountain

We were driving through Canmore, Alberta, on our way to Banff National Park. I was overwhelmed by the number of mountains surrounding us; it was the first time I had seen such natural gigantism right in front of me. With the clouds being scattered here and there, and speeding down a high way, it was very difficult to capture the beauty I was seeing with my own eyes through my camera. But as the clouds broke apart over, one particular mountain’s rocky slope and dense tree-covering were illuminated, and I knew that this was the mountain that was worth a quick stop.
