Serendipity Saturday: Mount Edith Cavell

First Light: Mount Edith Cavell

For this first edition of Serendipity Saturday I've chosen one my all time favorite scenic photos. Mount Edith Cavell is in Canada's Jasper National Park and is named for a British nurse executed by the Germans in World War I. I finally made this image on the fourth attempt, rising early each time only to be thwarted by clouds and rain. On this morning it all came together with the Sun's rays shining on the top of this 11,033 ft/3,363 meter peak in the Canadian Rockies at sunrise, the entire scene reflected in the still waters of Cavell Lake.
