A Beautiful view of the Canadian Rockies

Photo courtesy of Sara Moses. The Rocky Mountain range of western North America extends all the way from New Mexico in the south to the Canadian province of British Columbia in the north, and its entire length offers one spectacular view after another. In today's picture, photographer Sara Moses has managed to capture every ounce of the beauty of the Canadian Rockies as seen from the adjacent lowlands. The snowcapped peaks of the Rockies make for quite a vista when seen from a distance, and this picture really highlights the sharp contrast between the icy mountaintops in the distance and the green vegetation in the foreground. This contrast is most evident in the spring and summer, turning the entire region into one big photographers' paradise. I have seen the Rockies in person, and I can tell you that as amazing as this image is, absolutely nothing compares with taking in the view with your own eyes. If you enjoy taking photographs in the great outdoors, you owe it to yourself to head west and experience the glory of one of God's most gorgeous creations: the Rocky Mountains.     Visitor Comments...
