Reminiscence

The last of the alpenglow, captured in -35C on a roadtrip to Jasper National Park in February- after returning for the first time in 6 years. Jasper National Park holds many of my first memories of the Rockies, shared back then on a trip with my mother- places I had dreamt of seeing since I was a kid, and many ‘firsts’. First time seeing mountains, first time seeing snow. Returning to these places brought such a strong sense of nostalgia, and stopping to capture this image I remember feeling the same distinct sense of childlike wonder I felt all those years ago… something I hope I never lose.
