Our daughter’s in-laws live in Canmore. We visit them quite a lot and must have stood at that junction, or nearby, in Banff a hundred times, looking at Cascade and never tired of it.
Actually, we must have stood a hundred times at so many wonderful places from California to Alaska and Calgary to Tofino - it’s impossible to choose a favourite.

It was a bit chilly but not too bad for this area, about -5. Went skating on Lake Louise followed by a dip in the hot springs to warm up at the end of the day.
Canmore is a really nice little mountain town. I’d love to live there but it really pricey!! Most expensive town in Alberta actually so we have settled in Calgary which isn’t bad since it’s just over an hour away.
I love Tofino too by the way. Used to live in Vancouver and used to take a few trips there every summer in my VW van to go surfing. (or attempt to surf) Actually got married there on Chesterman Beach. Wish I could live there too but it’s about expensive as Canmore.
Yesterday was an absolutely stunning day in the mountains. I climbed my 150th and 151st Corbetts and did not encounter another soul all day. After a week of settled weather, today, it is blowing a hoolie and there is snow forecast for the mountains - Spring in Scotland!

Wow! 
I loved the alignment of the elements leading to this image; the trees, the ruin, the sun in just the right place, the cloud formation and the way the light highlighted the greenness of the grass.
Cheers,
Ian
