Athabasca Falls Canyon
It's not often you get a sense of stillness at Athabasca falls. I took this shot back in early spring looking through the canyon downstream of the falls. The shoulder seasons are nice in places like Athabasca so one can experience them without the crowds. People fall into this canyon almost every year and most don't live to tell the tale. Social media platforms give a false sense of familiarity with places which can be dangerous. It's always important to research and understand the risks with any location however that is especially true in the mountains. Athabasca Falls, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Oh my god... who took this photo? it's a pleasure for my eyes watching this <3
Thanks. All the shots I post are my own shots.
Congratulations! I wish I was there, and is it possible to swim on that water? It looks too blue to be true,lol. People say "If it's colorful and attractive it's not safe, don't touch it" so my intuition is telling me not to trust that lake
You could swim for a shot time but the water is only slightly above freezing so you can’t stay in for more than a few seconds.
Thanks for the info :b I won't be diving in when I go then! (sorry for my bad english)
photos are abstract, detail and beautiful, how peaceful it is in nature,
Thanks; nature can be very peaceful at times.
This is what is called beautiful one...
👍
Stunning!!
Thanks
The color here is amazing.
You are so right about familiarity and a lack of safety or over zealousness? A lot of people don't realize how slippery the rocks can be and how to be aware while taking pictures. Way too many fall and die.
Even here, where I live in Southern Ontario. We have the most waterfalls in one place than anywhere in the world. In the summer, in particular, there are falls, slips and rescues every weekend from a few of the more popular areas. I have lost count of the number of deaths as well. Sad.
Yes sadly that’s the way of the world.
Holy world.
Sweet job!

Thanks mate !
That does look like an easy place to fall. Love the water colour!
It’s a beautiful spot. Gets very crowded in summer
Wow, that water looks so stunning, what an incredible place!
Thanks
