Banff National Park in Canada 


I took this photo last year when I drove on my motorcycle from Vancouver to Banff to see some of my all time favorite golfers play golf. I saw Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, John Daly, Sergio Garcia and the Canadian golfer Stephen Ames play a skins game on Banff golf course.

I chose to drive Highway one in stet of the newer and shorter road because I was told the view driving that road was much nicer. The weather was great and the view on the way was as beautiful as it is on this photo, so I loved every minute of my 900 kilometer drive.

Takk kærlega fyrir þetta Gúnna :) Það var gaman að sjá fjögur komment þegar ég var búinn að skrifa textann. Ég kíkti á flickr til að athuga hvað ég hefði fengið mörg komment á þessa mynd þar, en þá komst ég að því að ég setti hana aldrei á þá síðu :) Takk aftur fyrir flott komment :)

Ótrúlega tær og falleg mynd... og rauði kanóinn er skemmtileg litasprengja :o) Einhver sem þú þekkir undir árum? :o)

Gunnsteinn Jonsson replies:
Takk kærlega fyrir þetta Begga :) Mér fannst þetta alltaf vera svo falleg og tær mynd sem lýsti kyrrðinni svo vel eins og hún er í Banff National park. Mig minnti að ég hefði sett þessa mynd á flickr og að ég hefði ekki fengið neinar undirtektir þar, en svo þegar ég kíkti núna þá sá ég að hún er barasta ekkert þar :) Nei ég þekki þessa náunga ekki neitt. Ég sá þá á ánni þegar ég var að keyra þarna framhjá svo ég keyrði neðar og hljóp í gegnum skóginn til að ná þeim á mynd. Ég náði nokkrum myndum af þeim þar sem þeir voru að nálgast mig en þessi er best að mínu mati :)

Oh my dear... this is such a nice photography! The landscape, the scenery, the reflections in the water, the colours - especially the red dot in the water. There's a calm and peaceful mood... I can smell the nature... really awesome!
You're totally right to drive this road... driving by motorcycle on highway you can't see nothing and mostly there are no curves... that's so boring ;-)
Which motorcyle do you have?

Gunnsteinn Jonsson replies:
Thanks Sandra :) It is always very nice to read your comments :) The American name for my motorcycle is Suzuki Boulevard C90 but the European name is Intruder 1500. The link I gave here is to my FLICKR site so look out :)

Fabulous! The colours are so crisp and the little red kayak fits perfectly in the photo. I can't stop staring at the mountains and the row of trees underneath them.
Posted 2 years ago. ( permalink )
Gunnsteinn Jonsson replies:
Thanks Mojca :) There are many that mention the kayak :) I agree with you about the mountains and the trees, they are really beautiful :) What I like about this photo is how clear the air seams to be and how much viability must have been that day :) This is how I sometimes try to describe Iceland :)

Yes that's what I was thinking, the clarity is astounding!

Nun, wir waren zumindest in diesem Nationalpark, der als der schönste überhaupt gilt. An diese Stelle kann ich mich aber nicht erinnnern, was kann man in den 3 Tagen auch schon sehen...praktisch nichts. Mit dem Wohnmobil kann man auch nicht überall halten, da ist es mit dem Motorrad schon besser.

Hey Gunnsteinn.

Since this picture is in "What's hot!", you should take a screenshot of the "What's hot!" page and post it to Ipernity Frontpage & What's Hot . Read there for more information.

Eins og þú hefur orðið var við þá er helmingurinn af kommentunum frá mér :) Ég nú bara þannig að ég vill þakka hverjum og einum fyrir sem sýnir myndunum mínum nógu mikinn áhuga til að vera að eyða tíma í að stoppa og skrifa eitthvað :)

I love this shot! I don't know what "whats hot" is but I will be looking into it AND congratulations!! It truly IS a gorgeous shot!!!!

Gunnsteinn Jonsson replies:
Thanks Dee :) I hope yo don't mind if I call you Dee :) What's Hot is similar to Interestingness on Flickr, but the way these photos are chosen for that site is much different. If you want your photo on that site you only have to comment 100 times on your own photo and it will pop up there right away :) Half of the comments I got were from me :) Anyway, I liked this photo my self so I was happy to see how well it did.

Thanks Markus :) This is one of he few photos where I noticed afterwards how beautiful the landscape was. Usually it is the other way around, I see something beautiful but when I look at the photo I can see that I failed to capture the beauty :) I really like this photo, for the colors and the clarity :)
