[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As we were leaving Waterton that day (April 12th), the eastern part of the lake (Knights Lake) was ice-free. Although Winter followed us home, and subsequently hit us several more times, Spring has finally arrived (with a vengeance: it's close to +30C out right now!).

Note from my Itro - DEAR FRIENDS:

I AM TAKING A "SABBATICAL" FROM THE COMPUTER!
We are off on our VIENNA HOLIDAY very soon - over 5 glorious weeks - and hope to come back refreshed and loaded up with multi-giga bytes of images!
A week after returning from Europe, we will head to Montreal for a TrekLens Meet - talk about busy!
In the meantime I wish everyone a GREAT SUMMER with lots of picture opportunities!
Thanks everyone for your critiques and support.
WE'LL BE BACK!!!!!
Cheers
Otto

Hi Otto,
Gorgeous blue decor! To be there for all Summer in front of these mountains and lake sit on a deck-chair with some novels of 800 pages would be a true dream!
Very good composition which lead in the glance towards the pass between the mountains at the horizon. Have a great time you both at Vienna! Bravo! Annie

Beautiful scene, perfectly captured - exposed, composed, saturated, etc. - I just love the way my attention is drawn into that distant snowy shore.

Beautiful Otto, just beautiful. The composition, light, details are stunning. I love the cabin perched there on the mt. Enjoy your vacation. It sounds wonderful and maybe while in Montreal you can give a call to Ottawa. I look forward to seeing the photo’s from all.
Warm Regards
