April 6, 2012 to April 10, 2012
The Canadian Rockies continue to amaze me with her endless charm and elegant beauty. I have to say that I am in love with this place!
Many of my photography friends would not make multiple trips to such a commonly traveled place because they don't believe the images here are "unique" enough -- the place has been photographed by too many people for too many times. But to me, I can't pursue pure photography and consider that as my sole objective. I need to go to places where my heart desires, and photography is only a tool to help me record my love and my life... So, here comes my reasoning for visiting this place 2 times within the past 6 months.

Of course, there is drama on each of my trips. But I really tried very hard to limit it to a manageable level this time. Still, I had to wonder out early in the morning under -19C degree weather to catch the sunrise. The sunset was surprisingly late here. In early April, the sunset was already after 8 PM. So, I just lived through 5 LONG days with 974 pictures. Don't know when I will have time to process them. The good news is -- I did follow Rudi's rigorous instructions on backing up my photos immediately after downloading, so thank god I did not lose any file this time!!
Me and Absolute Nothingness...
