September seems to be settling in as my conference month. Last year was Edinburgh, this year it was Lake Louise, in the Banff National Park in Canada.
A stunning setting of course, though with our 15 hour days we didn't get too many opportunites to sample it. This photograph was taken at about 7 am, before breakfast. Not too shabby for not having a tripod and resting my arms on a viewing "box". We were allowed an afternoon off on the second day which I took advantage of by going on a 5 hour walk up the valley to the Plain of Six Glaciers, then back via the 'big beehive' and down to Lake Agnes.
After the conference finished I headed down to San Fran and over to Lake Tahoe to visit Ali and Mike. Another stunning area, with the advantage of being (sightly) warmer.
While in San Fran I took a ride around the North bay area too - 60 kms of mostly beautiful scenery and some scary highway on-ramps. Also spent half a day in the SF MOMA checking out the New Topographics exhibition. 75% of the original exhibition was on display, and having just come through much of that landscape and seeing that not much had changed, it was simply unreal. A stunning body of work.
Can't wait to go back in Winter!
