Canadian Rocky Mountain Fine Art Prints

Why take a Photo, Why make an Image – is it the Beauty?

I want to start with a question; The beauty in this scene – is it by chance or design? As a landscape photographer, I am captured by the sheer and stunning beauty of the Canadian Rockies. By that, and by the incredible, precise, delicate, complex, and unfathomable work of a creative designer! Who made this? Who designed this?

This is Canadian Rockies Fine Art, and that is what beckons me to make images, Fine Art images, of the Banff and the Canadian Rockies Landscape. A musical score is just marks on paper until someone or group, band, etc PLAYS the score – then it is Music. An image is just dots on a sensor, in your smart phone, or your DSLR – but nevertheless – only when the file is Printed do you have Canadian Rocky Mountain Fine Art for enjoyment, decor, and ambience.

Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies – Gold Rush is on !

There is a Gold Ruch every year at this time in Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies. It is Fall and the famous Larch trees, the only deciduous tree (with needles) that turn colour, turn to a mesmerizing warm golden hue.

It is frequently asked – When is the best time to visit the Canadian Rockies and Banff? There are many answers, all of which are valid, but for the Gold Rush and to see the Larch trees; “The magical colour conversion begins around the middle of September and lasts only a few weeks. As autumn is a hugely popular time for visiting the Canadian Rockies, it’s essential to plan your trip. If you can make it work, go mid-week, early in the morning for fewer crowds.”

This is the time when the Banff National Park landscape is awash in the Alpine with Golden hues of Larch trees. There are multiple places to go and here are two posts with a fine list of suggestions:

Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site! It is one of the SUP wonders of the World. So, it is a place you want to visit, and you will likely ask – When is the best time to visit the Canadian Rockies and Banff National Park?

Intrepid Travel offers this explanation:

There’s no specific ‘best time’ to visit the Canadian Rockies with each season offering a different perspective of the naturally breathtaking landscape. While there is a peak season (summer), when you choose to travel to the Rockies largely depends on what you want to see and the kind of activities you want to do while you’re there. If you fancy seeing snow-capped mountains and vast lakes covered with ice thick enough to skate on then travelling to this wondrous region in winter simply makes sense. Or, if you actually want to see the turquoise colour of Lake Louise and hike through meadows filled with blooming wildflowers then travelling in spring and summer is the best time to visit.
