Pyramid Lake and Pyramid Peak

For our first full day in Jasper. We started out visiting Pyramid Lake and Pyramid Peak for a sunrise Photoshoot and then travel to Patricia Lake, not only looking for wildlife, but also to photograph the Mountains and the beautiful Lake. However, we did not find any wildlife to photograph.

In the afternoon, we drove to places where there should have been wildlife and in fact, covered over 150 miles, and the only wildlife that we photographed, was a coyote out the car window, and a Gray Jay. However, we did get some excellent shots of the Maligne Mountains.

Returning to the hotel, we found Elk as usual on the property.

Because Jasper is a known dark sky location and the night sky was clear, after supper, we traveled back to Patricia Lake and photograph the Milky Way and all the beautiful stars. It felt you can reach out and just touch the stars. They were more stars than you could imagine. I did a four photograph panorama of the Milky Way stretching from one end of the lake over to the other end of the lake. I even caught some meteors in my photographs
