Glacial point of view.

One of the most surreal sunrises I’ve ever seen. Mons Glacier, Banff National Park.

Fresh work from a stunning early morning at Moraine Lake, Banff National Park. 🛶 With no personal vehicles allowed it was quite peaceful up there! I always feel so fortunate to visit.

Smoke has moved into Banff again. A good reminder to get out there when you can when conditions are prime! But when you have challenging conditions to shoot in, I think it’s a great exercise in creativity for photographers. It’s the topic of my most recent newsletter, which you can access right here! 👇🏻 https://paulzizkaphoto.substack.com/p/mother-nature

Goodnight from Banff National Park! Drop me a note to tell me where you’re tuning in from! 📍Skoki Region

Rockies lakes come in all shades of blue. What’s your favourite glacier-fed lake? 📍Yoho Lake

Back from several days in the backcountry with my family. I love having the chance to introduce my kids to wild places. Here’s my oldest exploring a glacial lake above the Iceline Trail in Yoho National Park while the other two hiked back to camp (a nearly 10km loop was a good amount for the 5-year-old)! We’re still drying out after last night’s epic rain storm. Amazing memories!

Out of the backcountry for a few days to discover everyone is hopping on Threads. Thought I’d see what it’s all about before I go off the grid again. 😊 Say hi if you’re here!
