After seeing all of the lovely shots from Austria by Mich I couldn't help feeling the urge to strap on some leather shorts and hang out with my handy pocket alp horn, on the shores of Lake Louise, AB, Canada.

Excellent capture, John and a wonderful view of this alpine lake. Beautiful colours and clarity in your photo. A great looking scene.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson

Beautiful place and very nice shot, John. These people from Alps are always interesting to me. They have very nice traditional clothes. Wonderful scene with snowy mountains and turquoise lake.

I love music, and I love music instruments. Especially when they are in a pretty place like this.

Hi everyone thankyou all for taking the time to look and comment on my photos/artwork...unlike many of you i am not a photographer im a stay at home mom! however i always always have my camera to hand and im slowly learning how to edit the photos i capture with adobe. I use my FujiFilm FinePix S1600 to capture 90% of my photos. Again i'd just like to say thankyou again who to everyone for making me feel welcome here at Caedes. Emily x

Talk about needing a set of lungs to play that horn! Seems like just a typical day over there, huh? A beautiful shot.

Did you fill that valley with music? I don't think I would have enough air in me to blow that thing!

You look so elegant in your lederhosen John. I bet you got some great echos. The lake and mountains don't look bad either.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
