Photo of the Month – June 2009

It’s that time of the month, no, not that one!  I meant it’s the third Monday of the month, so it’s photo of the month time!

I was showing a friend some pictures from my trip to the Canadian Rockies a couple of years back and stumbled on this one that has rarely made it outside of my hard drive. It really reminds of those psychology inkblot tests, so I decided to name it Rorschach’s Enigma. The photograph was taken at lower waterfowl lake a few kilometers outside of Lake Louise (56 to be exact). It was one of those magical evenings that only the Rockies have the recipes for. Nice and warm, beautiful fluffy clouds overhead. A little hike to the base of Mt- Cephren didn’t prove overly productive photo-wise, so we decided to get back to our campsite only to realise that the place was photo-opp central! These rain clouds threathened us for most of the day but never brought their lot of water and misery. Instead, they decided to put on a show. Travelling at warp speeds and taking all sorts of shapes and conformations, they really made this one of the most memorable evenings of the trip.

As usual, I offer a 10% discount on print purchases for the photo of the month, you KNOW it’s worth it ;-) .

On a completely unrelated topics, this week is the last week I will be able to post regularly in a little while. I am heading to Europe for work during the next week, then as soon as I get back, I will head out to Washington state to meet Art Wolfe and Jay Goodrich for a nice little photo trip around the state. I’ll try my best to update the blog throughout this period and hopefully be able to post some trip updates as they come along. That also means you should watch out for next month’s Wallpaper, which will be posted this week.

    Thanks Joe. The Rockies are the most inspiring place I have ever been privileged to visit. If you ever have a chance, I would definitely recommend a little trip up there :) .
