Dew is collecting in the morning
Clouds are changing
The waters are still
Fog in the valleys
Rain moves slowly across the mountains
The rain turns to snow
A whole lot of snow
They say Carl is still shoveling the path to this very day....
Sunrise above the valley
On an island in a sea of clouds.

That first one is messing with my eyes, I keep thinking it's animated and zooming out.

That one at the top of Mount Sulphur: I was there in AUGUST and got snowed on. That's an early start to winter.
TempestWest
I feel the same, my first year living here I was scraping frost off my car in August. Not cool for someone that likes to garden.

As a brit ur a lucky bugger

As someone that lives in San Francisco, I miss weather.

This was like reading a poem.

Oh, man, I could live there... Forever. Lived in the mtns in the Bay Area, loved Every Minute of it. Sadly, circumstances changed...
LosPer
Can you post the full size pics? Great wallpaper...thanks!
TempestWest
Unfortunately these are as good as it gets. I only had my phone with me at the time :(
LosPer
Damn. Nice shots anyway!
LilLarrySellers
Where is this?
TempestWest
Most are from Sulphur mountain in Banff with a few from Canmore and Kananaskis thrown in
tomatopaster
Canmore!! :D

Dew in the morning? Shit that happens every single day it is above freezing in the Appalachians.
TempestWest
That's one of the things I love about the Appalachians. This part of the Rockies is pretty dry so you don't dew too often.
mikeatike
It is the worst for astronomers. Middle of July, telescope completely covered in dew by 1am.

I zoomed on that clear water to look for fish, but all I found was cinder blocks.
TempestWest
The fish were in the pond beside that one....I was too busy catching them to get a decent picture. Had a school of 50 right at my feet!
redclaysmartass
Nice. You live in a beautiful place, but that snow is not for me.
CyranoDeBurlapSack
So is #1 a picture of Mountain Dew?

FrecklesIRL
So... winter is coming?
ginastringr
I live in the tropical climate. It's raining every day but it's super hot.
Obi1thejedi
The rain is super hot?
TempestWest
I'm sure that by January I'll be wishing I was living where you are!
catfancier
I've been to many places, include topical areas. Nothing is more beautiful to me than the Canadian Rockies. But yeah, snow can be a pain

What's the timeframe from the clouds changing to the snow falling?
TempestWest
I took the cloud pic about a week before the snow fell. The winds at ground level got weaker over that time
TheManWithDecentPaintSkillz
but....but it's september...
TempestWest
I'm reading the farmer's almanac right now. If it's right then we're in for a hell of a winter in the West
TheManWithDecentPaintSkillz
well shit. time to put antifreeze in the shitpit
MyLadyBitsSayHi
Ha Ling and Rundle are looking so fierce! Love me some Canmore.
KingXizor
Is that Banff? I loved Banff.
ImOldGreggAndIDrinkBaileysFromAShoe
I miss the snow.
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
It's just about to snow here in ND. You can come get all you want of that annoying shit.
khaleesimotherofkittycats
Canada is still too hot for me :( people think of us as being cold and snowy but our summers are brutal. Our temp. differences are insane.
TempestWest
One of the reasons I left Ontario. Couldn't stand any more soupy summers
khaleesimotherofkittycats
I'm in NS and it reaches 30+ in July, August, and September. I'm allergic to the sun too but besides that the heat sucks.
theSilencewillfall
These are great photos. Well done
TempestWest
Thanks, I can't take all the credit though...it's hard to take a bad photo of the mountains
JackoW
Where is this? We got excited about some snow high in Fernie then heard about the 6 inches that fell in Banff.
TempestWest
Most of these photos are from Banff over the last week. The snow really piled up Sunday morning.
PolarHailStorm
Can I come live there? Like, seriously. It'd probably be illegally, since I'm poor af but yeah.
TempestWest
I met a parks officer who said he was issuing tickets to a lot of people this year for illegally camping in the woods...you'll fit right in!
