The drive to Jasper had been a long one. Not in distance but in time. Icy roads and many stops along the way had sucked up all of the daylight. I lay on the hotel bed knowing this was my only night to shoot Sunwapta and Athabasca by night. 50km back down the road.

It was worth it though. Luckily I brought a strong torch. That allowed me to find my spot and also do a little light painting. The silence was drowned out by the thundering falls...once again I wondered about the hungry bears.
