As The World Turns

Leaving the heaven of shopping (and ogling) havens, it was time to drive the scenic Highway 16 to Jasper. Along the way, pit stopped at a typical out-west layby complete with saloon and truckers. The view was simply breathtaking. We had chosen to drive during the Summer to Fall change over. Soon the trees will be bare, but for now it gives us pleasure. The colours of the leaves changing from a dark green to a bright yellow. The landscape as far as the eye can see, dotted with colour. Another heaven.



Arriving at our first resort in the rockies, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.



Took a bit of time to arrive, having taken a slow drive, we arrived to a sky that was clearing of storm clouds. With a stunning effect on Beauvert Lake. Our fears of a wet week had just cleared.




Jasper town is picturesque. Jasper National Park is named after it.



The morning after. Gentle mist floats across Beauvert Lake. It feels so surreal, like heaven, literally. Sitting on the lake shore, you quietly contemplate and reflect. Literal and philosophically.

The mirror surface of the lake is such reflection.



A little slice of heaven.
