Places that make you feel small and inspired. Bow Lake - Banff, National Park.

Bow Lake in Banff National Park is in my opinion the most photogenic place in the entire area. Some people would vote for Peyto, others Lake Louise - but I always find myself coming back to Bow. The weather is dramatic, there's a great hike up to the falls - or if you're more adventurous you can stay overnight in the Bow Hut (but that takes a bit more planning).

You really can get a sense of the majesty of the Rocky Mountains standing on the edge of Bow lake. A sense of how hard they might have been to cross. It makes you feel - small and inspired at the same time.

I'm glad the Rockies are my backyard.

What places make you feel both small and inspired?

OMG! This is SUCH an AMAZING post! Thank you for sharing! I gave you a vote!!

Thank you! What's with the account....how do you make it work out?

Much appreciated. Thanks for visiting.

Beautiful Shot Again. My personal favorite among the three is Peyto. I haven't seen it upclose though , we did hike up and saw the lake from top !

It's tough to get down to Peyto. There is a trail...but you need a bit.

That would be interesting :)

The beauty of Banff and the Rockies that you share are so beautiful and makes one want to visit there

You should! (but in summer)

Yes if it when I make it there probably after I retire in two years I will come during summer

Beautiful photos! Breathtaking!

Thank you so much!

Just beautiful! I have not visited the CanadianR ockies, but have visited the Rockies in Colorado.

I always feel small and insignificant, but also very inspired when I am back in the Scottish Highlands.

I love the Canadian Rockies! I'm a BC girl, and mountains are in my blood, but I appreciate the ocean as well as the mountains for making me feel humble. Big trees, like the Redwoods in California, do much the same. Great post! Go #TeamCanada! (I didn't know there was a Team Canada on Steemit. Yay!)

Oooh the redwoods. For sure!

Great photos!

small and inspired:
Great Ocean Road
Bombo Quarry
Major Cities

Thanks much! Yeah - major cities for sure. London, NYC, Tokyo always leave me feeling breathless.

I'm a big fan of reflections. The water looks like a mirror here. Wonderful. :)

Me too! Can't help but shoot them.
