Spirit Island - a photo on Flickriver

Spirit Island

            This stand of trees is known as Spirit Island. It's one of the most photographed sites in the Canadian Rockies and can only be reached by boat. 

You can trek here as well, but be sure to bring bear spray. Even so, if I were backpacking, I'd want to do it here. You can't get the proper scale of the peaks from a photo; it's beyond belief.  

I took this over five years ago with my old Nikon D800 which I've since sold. It's not the camera that matters but what's holding it. I've changed a lot, and so have my techniques, so I need to give it another go. In the meantime, it's still fun to look at these and go back in time to a place that hasn't changed since then, or hundreds of years prior for that matter.
