Berg Lake Blue Hour

in #photofeed8 years ago (edited)

The mountains can be so seductively peaceful sometimes, it’s easy to forget how quickly that can change. Something to keep in mind as we travel though life. Not a breath of wind at Berg Lake for blue hour on the first night after we had hiked up there. From an altitude of 1,646 m (5,400 ft) the North Face of Mt Robson rises a further 2308m (7572m) out of the lake to a total height of 3,954 m (12,972 ft). Robson is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada. Yes that is a little iceberg floating in the lake.

The shot was taken with a Canon EOS 6D Mark II with a Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM at ISO 800, at 16.0 mm, f/5, and 25s exposure time.

Rob,
You caught the mouth of the mountain opening,
The crystal mirrored Lake is just awesome, I hope you blew this gorgeous piece up and hung it in a prominent place~☆
Your camera is exceptional to catch quality like this,
and the eye behind it as well.

Wow thanks for such a beautiful comment .

Ooooooh such blue! I love it! Some day we'll find our way up there! Some day I tell you!

Ooh, love the twilight blues contrasting with the reflecting glacier. This place is on my shortlist and you did nothing to quench my desire to visit!

You should mate it’s epic. It rarely looks like this however !

You mean clear skies and a still lake?

Robson often catches a cloud on its peak. I had driven past it 10 times before seeing it without cloud .

Why is it that the most impressive mountains are often the shyest?

So we were very lucky on the hike to have clear skys

Love those tones! Such a great shot. I love that hike.

I wish I could still hike...that is one amazing shot! Nothing like being there in person though.

Love your talent.

Thank you. Very kind . Why can’t you hike anymore ?

Old. :) I have osteoarthritis in my knees and hips and it's killer hiking downwise. I can hike on flat surfaces - so no more hilly terrain for me.

I haven't voted today, so you get my 100% Upvote for this fantastic blue hour shot!
