Many Glacier

clevelandron@comcast.net (Photos by Ron Cleveland) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:49:27 GMT

The deck along the back of the large Many Glacier hotel overlooks Swiftcurrent Lake and is a fine vantage point for mountain and lake scenery. We boarded a tour boat at the hotel dock on Swiftcurrent Lake. It took us to the other end of the lake where we hiked over a hill to board another boat for a tour of the larger Lake Josephine. It is from Lake Josephine that we photographed the Grinnell glacier. Hardier souls can hike to the edge of the glacier. An "ABC" after the file number indicates a combination of three exposures for and HDR (High Dynamic Range) image.

Going to the Sun Highway

Our base was the Rising Sun Motor Inn near St. Mary Lake. The most photo ops appeared to be along the eastern half of the highway, from St. Mary Lake to Logan Pass. More early and late in the day time at Sun Point on St. Mary Lake would have been nice. Again, the "ABC" in the file name identifies an image made from three exposures, usually 2 stops apart.

West side of Glacier NP

The Village Inn at Apgar on the south end of Lake McDonald gave us a beautiful view right outside our door. Smokey haze usually dulled our view but it was still pretty nice. We took a drive up the North Fork Road and got some close-up views of wildfire damage near the Flathead Wild and Scenic River. There have been some extensive forest fires in the park. We went as far as the little settlement of Polebridge - no phones, electric power by generator, and a mighty fine bakery in the general store.

Waterton Lakes Nat'l Park

We took the boat tour of the Canadian and U.S. waters of Waterton Lake, traveled a couple back roads, and walked the town's main street - partaking of various gustatory delights and worldly goods. Here again, the "ABC" in the file name refers to an HDR conversion of three exposures.

Albino Whitetail Deer

Albino whitetail deer have been in the park area for years. I was lucky to find them so photographically available. There were four albino and five regular does in the group. All photos were taken from the driver’s seat of my van.

Father Hennepin state park is on the south shore of Mille Lacs Lake. Fr. Hennepin may not have stepped on this spot but he was in the Mille Lacs area. He was 39 in 1679 when he set off from New France (Canada) through the Great Lakes and beyond. During our fall trip through Ontario we found Father Hennepin mentioned in the well-done history display at the French River Provincial Park visitor center. The river, a voyageur route, empties into Georgian Bay of Lake Huron.

Crex Meadows 2008

clevelandron@comcast.net (Photos by Ron Cleveland) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 22:25:00 GMT

The photos were taken from dawn on Friday, Oct. 24 to sunset on Saturday, Oct 25. Heavy clouds and occasional mist were the norm all day Friday and Saturday morning. The sky cleared by Saturday noon so we had some sunshine when the cranes returned from the fields south of Crex in the late afternoon. My first attempts at using flash is evidenced the first few shots in the gallery. You may be able to see a little "eye shine" from the flash.
