Elbow Falls – lit by YYC
I went to Elbow Falls yesterday and arrived well before sunrise. As I stood above the waterfall, the glow from Calgary, ~50km to the east, mixed with the faintest hint of the approaching dawn to paint the clouds and to illuminate the river very gently.

So light pollution has its advantages! Very pretty and I find myself wondering if Elbow falls are the same falls I first saw many years ago in Banff on the trails behind the famous Banff Springs hotel.

Hi Jane! The Elbow Falls are along Highway 66 in Kananaskis. A pretty waterfall about 15 minus west of Bragg Creek. I think you are recalling Bow Falls which are just below the Banff Springs Hotel. Those are really pretty in winter when the ice forms.

And here I thought YYC was code for some mysterious photographic technique I’d not yet come across. Now, I’m sending smiles from south of IAH and HOU! Once I got that sorted out in my mind, I could attend to the photo: beautiful and uniquely lit.

Lol! If I come up with a new technique, I’ll use that name – it works!
