Come follow me on facebook and Flickr I also have a website. Pre-Dawn light illuminates Mt. Assiniboine and Sunburst peak, as seen from the Nub. Was fortunate to catch some great conditions in this area, with the larches in almost full color, and a fair amount of fresh snow on the mountains. I raced up to this spot to catch the last stars as they faded with the morning light. The soft glow from the pre-dawn light was so nice this morning. I spent 2.5 days up in this area, and unfortunately did not come back with much to show. This was my last morning there, and I'm pretty happy I was able to capture this, even if it is from the most popular place to shoot from up here. Hope to return one day. Thanks to Callum Snape for showing me around while visiting the Banff area.
Landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including the physical elements of landforms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea, living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation, human elements including different forms of land use, buildings and structures, and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions.
Combining both their physical origins and the cultural overlay of human presence, often created over millennia, landscapes reflect the living synthesis of people and place vital to local and national identity. Landscapes, their character and quality, help define the self-image of a region, its sense of place that differentiates it from other regions. It is the dynamic backdrop to people’s lives.
The Earth has a vast range of landscapes including the icy landscapes of polar regions, mountainous landscapes, vast arid desert landscapes, islands and coastal landscapes, densely forested or wooded landscapes including past boreal forests and tropical rainforests, and agricultural landscapes of temperate and tropical regions.
Landscape may be further reviewed under the following specific categories: landscape art, cultural landscape, landscape ecology, landscape planning, landscape assessment and landscape design. The activity that modifies the visible features of an area of land is named Landscaping.
