Purple Alpine Flowers

 

The summer of 2007 was a busy one for my family.  My son had just finished his first year of school and it had not been an easy one.  The two of us escaped to Alberta for a few weeks of rest and relaxation.  Around the end of July my son left to spend a few weeks with his father and I decided I was going to use that time to do something I had wanted to try since picking up my first camera. . . travel the Icefield Parkway between Jasper and Banff.

What an experience.  I took 4 days and spent it in nature, exploring and taking pictures.  I still remember that summer vividly.  I’m hoping to do a similar trip this summer but we’ll see how things work out.

This picture Purple Alpine Flowers was taken towards the end of my second day of travels.  The sun was getting lower in the sky and I had pulled my car over and parked in one of the rest stops along the way.  I loved how blue the sky looked and loved the contrast between the blue of the sky and the dark rock of the mountain.  I tried capturing a few shots but felt there was something missing.  I decided to explore for a bit and came across these beautiful purple flowers.  I composed the shot including the flowers and was pleased with the outcome.

Antonio LugabihlI must say, as much as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a great grasp on the subject matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from more than one angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so much. Its better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just going for a gut reaction to the subject. Think about adjusting your own thought process and giving others who may read this the benefit of the doubt.

alpine mountaineer maudit reviewGreetings from Idaho! I'm bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your website on my iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the knowledge you present here and can't wait to take a look when I get home. I'm shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my mobile .. I'm not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, excellent site!

alpine mountainer watchWith havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.

Everett ChetI personally advise Hostgator for webhosting. They are truly professional, support is perfect and uptime good. Go to hostgator_dot_com and use "onecentcoupons" voucher code. You get first month just for free which is great.

PPI ChargesCreativity is certainly one word that many people are interested in yet somehow can't understand better. Being creative talks about inspiration, curiosity, creating new ideas, novelty, inventiveness, effectiveness, resourcefulness and so on. Sadly ,, some people would rather copy from some one instead of to be creative.

iphone gewinnenHands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
