A clearing storm in the park

This meadow in the Bow Valley often provides a reflection of the current of the weather affecting much of the park.  On this day in early November, the remnants of a storm was thrashing around in the mountains while more promising blue sky opened up above.

Earlier in the morning, the clouds hung low over the Vermilion Lakes hiding all but the lowest slopes of Sulphur Mountain across the water.  Later in the day when I returned along the Trans Canada Highway the clouds were truly broken up and it proved to be a very nice autumn afternoon in the Banff National Park.
