Spray Lakes
Directions
Take the road out of Canmore towards the Nordic centre. Continue past the Grassi Lakes and the Goat Creek day use parking. Follow the unpaved Spray lakes road for about 27-28km until you see the Sparrowhawk Picnic sign. The lake is on your right.
Background
I arrived at the lakes about 1.5 hours before sunrise in the hopes to get some astrophotography shots. I had the extraordinary luck of seeing the northern lights that morning as well.
With heavy clouds rolling in, the sunrise I was hoping for didn’t quite happen. I ended up walking down the rocky beach and taking some long exposures of the low lying clouds instead.
On the way back a curious happy young moose wandered by.
Fabulous!
The northern lights stunning beauty never ceases to amaze me.
Beautiful! I especially love the “smiling moose”…
Wow~~ the Northern Lights… What a dream to be able to see that. Something I can only dream of today, but one day, I will see the lights. You are an amazing photographer.
~Felicia
Like the black and white — and what’s not to love about the goofy moose?
Nice photography. Can I be your tripod boy next time you go taking photos
Really nice shots here!
I’ve seen many pictures of the Northern Lights, but never with the stars clearly visible, too. Amazing.
So beautiful! We lived in Edmonton for 3 years and never managed to see them. One day!
Absolutely amazing! Beautiful photos!
SUPERB! STUNNING! AWESOME!
Tremendous , Just out of the World !
Brilliant shots!
Every image is stunning, and the young moose adds an interesting touch! z
I grew up in Banff so I know the area well and know how beautiful it is. You captured it brilliantly!
Fantastic sceneries and colors!
Truly awesome !
beautiful so lucky to just happen to go see the northern lights like that. My mother once took me up fairly north in Quebec Province to see the Milky Way (In Philadelphia, way too much light pollution!) I hope too see the northern lights one day. The moose is amazing too.
And that is a perfect trip! Loved it.
Lovely! How close did you get to the moose?
Really, really wonderful pictures, Patrick. You are truly an artist… Thank you.
Amazing! The Northern lights are a spectacular sight.
stunning photography!
Breath taking…
Reblogged this on James' World and commented:
Wonderful photography!
Wow what captures… not sure though that I would like to meet up with that moose when its in a bad mood…
Beauty escalated…
you got a good eye for them…your pics are just a treat to eyes and the heart too…
keep the good work on! it feels elated to view them…:D
enjoy!
LOVE the moose and the northern lights above the treeline!! Beautiful!!
Excellent photos here
Your pics really make me miss Canada sometimes.
Fantastic Aurora shots! Looks like you had a moose loose aboot the hoose…:-)))
Stunning shots
I think that’s the cutest moose I’ve ever seen! Fantastic shots.
Beautiful. Awesomely beautiful!
Ah Patrick!
Every time I have a look on your blog, your pictures are better!
And don’t get me wrong, because they already were fantastic!
Great job, I really love the one with the clouds and rocky beach!
Enjoy your day!

This is amazing. Love it. Thanks for sharing your fantastic talent. Such a pleasure to look at.
You’re photos never disappoint, always amazing. And always great to see your “new post” notification in my inbox. Thanks again for sharing.
Wow -amazing pictures!
That is breathtaking! The northern lights, I truly hope I’ll get to see that for myself one day. Stunning pictures!
These are beyond gorgeous. I loved the northern lights. Awesome!
Every picture is amazing….how did you capture the stars and the northern lights together…..those shots are just breathtaking
Stunning! No more words…
Incredible!
This is mesmerizing photography! You’re really talented! Keep up the work
wow…that looks like graphic art instead of an actual photograph it’s so pretty!
You take the most excellent pictures! Wishing I was your camera right now so I can catch all the beauty first hand!
Living in the city I forgot that there are places in the world where you can still see stars in the sky. I can’t remember the last time I marveled at the stars. I must travel more in 2013. I miss seeing the stars.
amazing shots!
Fantastic place and photos! Thank you for sharing!
Oh I absolutely LOVE these photographs.
you really are lucky to be able to see the northern lights! those and the stars make for a gorgeous backdrop.
so lovely.
truly amazing photography!
Astonishing photo of the moose!
Amazing photos; as always!
Wow! Just wow! Never thought I’d put “cute” and “moose” in the same sentence but that little moose is so darn cute!!
Gorgeous photos as always . The Northern lights are beautiful and I love the Moose, I have never seen an animal look so happy!
Completely amazing!
You should be congratulated for remembering to take any pictures at all. I think I would have just stood and stared at the sky until it was too late!
very talented as always ..
How lovely to look at and think about
Patrick! These photographs are outstanding! I especially love the ones of the Northern Lights. They capture so beautifully the magic that is all around us. So… um do you need an assistant to carry equipment?
Beautiful…. loved the baby moose!
What WOW factor! You are a lucky man to witness and capture such beauty!
Stunning shots as ever!
Talk about luck, Patrick! The colors and lights are AMAZING! Nature is a canvas!
I love the picture of the moose. I don’t think I’ve seen one before. And the northern lights pictures are breathtaking.
REally nice shots of the Aurora Borealis. And the moose — has to be the funniest expression I’ve ever seen on a moose. Started my Monday off on the right foot.
All great shots, but I really love the first one and it’s upward rise: the trees, the lights, the stars. Fantastic! The moose capture is special, too!
Amazing shots.
Because I live in Florida, I have never seen a live moose before. Not even at the zoo. Nice shots.
Absolutely fantastic images. That moose looks like he’s smiling at you.
I think these pictures speaks to everyone without exception, if I dared, I’d say in everyone’s name, we wish we would’ve witnessed it with our own eyes!
I like all these photos but the moose is my favorite.
The night sky is so beautiful..
So THAT’S where the Mac desktop image came from.
“Seeing the Northern lights” is near the top of my bucket list, but they’re unpredictable enough that I’m not sure how I’d plan a trip like that. In the meantime, I’ll just contentedly bask in your experience.
Beautiful setting for such a lovely view
great pics
Incredible as always, you make me want to put my camera down
Hi Patrick, thanks for following me. I’m glad you liked my last post.
Your images are stunning.
Oh my god. I love them!
wow!!!! fantastic!!!!!
Beautiful work as always. The stars and aurora, stunning. The moose indeed seems very happy, what a smile!
Oh my god, that sky is GORGEOUS!
Oh My God ! These photos are absolutely magnificent ! Superb !
Wow, really beautiful. Nature really is breathtaking.
Not much to add but these are just stunning.
excellent – my goal is to see the Northern Lights some day. beautiful pix.
As a writer, nature/astro photos are used for inspiration; yours, by far, the best!
Wow!
Good grief–magnificent!
The things one can see…. WOW!
Omg. Love the baby pose!
Beautiful shot of the Northern Lights and the angle on the moose makes me laugh, she looks like she’s smiling for you
The night-time sky looks magical!
First time I’ve seen a photograph of a young moose – cute animal.
Beautiful pics of the northern lights! I definitely hope to see them while I’m in Finland. And thanks for the follow on my blog!
OMG! I was so amused by your verbiage “a happy young moose wandered by” and then I saw the image… You’re right!!! He IS a happy guy! What a great capture! (All are amazing shots as always.) Mitchell Kyd
Beautiful photography! I’ve never seen a smiling moose before. The ones in Montana are grumpy. My family and I saw three moose in Glacier National Park one year. They came crashing out of the brush – a male, a female, and a baby. The bull was extremely grumpy. The cow and calf began swimming across Two Medicine Lake. The bull couldn’t make up his mind if he should follow her or attack us. Thankfully, he chose to follow her across the lake. We got some decent photos of them however.
Such consistently great work. Thanks, Patrick
That’s the Bullwinkle! Great photos.
Just always: Perfect.
Stunning work, Patrick! Your photographs of the aurora borealis are amazing. Really reminds me to make more of those DIY galaxy shirts for my clothing line
Keep it up and I look forward to seeing more great photos!
This is gorgeous. I love your work!
amazing pictures… absolutely gorgeous…. The sky and clouds impart such a heavenly feeling.
OMFG I have to get a credit card soon so I can start collecting your prints!!!
You are the luckiest man alive. Northern lights and a young moose all in one morning. Beautiful!
I like the black and white and the moose. Very, very nice.
Absolutely incredible!! Took my breath away.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo…..aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh……
I’m thinking that you were probably meant to see that moose. No accidents, coincidences, or chance encounters!
Patrick — One word, “WOW!”
So jealous that you caught the Aurora they elude me still.
And, that second photo of the lake is stunning; it has a real painterly quality.
Just wow!
Very beautiful captures of the real world!
Incredible photos!
Your pictures are ravishing! Do you do portrait photos too?
It’s as if it’s not even real….:( I need to come!!!!
Nice. I saw a bit of the Lights on saturday about 1am, but it just made me lament the city. I have to say you found the happiest moose I’ve ever seen! I love it! Have a Great Week, Photo Hopper!
man your pictures are so alive.. where do you live ????
Very cool shots of the sky, unlike mine. Mine are funny. Oh can i have one of your cameras. Please . . .Pretty please with a cherry on top.
P.S . . .I’ll be your friend . . .Hey it works for the kids.
Gorgeous Work!
I used to live in Alaska when I was a child. I lived on a mountain, and the northern lights would get so close it felt like you could almost touch them. I didn’t realize I missed them so much until I saw your post! Great job…as always.
Love the b&w landscape and especially the moose! Bill
Beautiful work!
The northern lights shots are absolutely breathtaking! ~ Marsha
Oh my goodness sakes!! What a beautiful place. Loved the moose.
All I can say is, WOW!!
Love it!!!!! <3
Can’t ask for much more than some northern lights and a cute moose!
My favorite bloggers are photography bloggers, likely because of my inability to take pictures. heh You have beautiful photos
Wow, those photos are wonderful. I live the deep violet hue of those arura…beautiful. That young moose is such a catch! Congrats!
It must have been great to see and photograph the aurora. While they can be seen in Colorado, they’re generally on the faint side. It was nice of the moose to agree to a portrait.
Adorable moose!
Absolutely stunning photographs! I am so jealous, I really want to see the Northern Lights in person!
Patrick ~ I certainly hope you are on the Candian tourist bureau becuase you make Canada look like such a magical place!
Stunning and beautiful!
Beautiful pictures Patrick
I used to live in Calgary. You captured the beautiful mountain life in all colours, shapes and sounds.
Stunning
Every time you post a photo I am convinced I live in the wrong part of Canada. Absolutely breathtaking! ITA with azdreamcatcher’s post above.
Striking!
Love it!
That moose really is happy. Look at the smile on his face.
You may have missed your sunrise but I would say the Northern Lights more than made up for it. Beautiful shots.
Cute moose!
What a fairy land!! That shot of the moose is great, too, he looks so GOOFY
that moose looks like you made his day
Breathtaking skies!
Beautiful, beautiful photos. They still my heart…
Great work Patrick!
amazing images!!! love the first one!
Absolutely stunning photos!!!
Stunning, just stunning.
Wow, amazing pictures of the northern lights. The Banff area is one of our favorite places to visit. That seems to be one happy moose!
These are breathtaking.
The 3rd shot looks like the background for the Macbook… watch out they might sue you for copyright violations
hahaha
I really like the first night sky shot.
Stunning as always! The sky shots are amazing!
Majestic and beautiful. Thanks.
Breath taking!
Wonderful!! I’ve always wanted to see the aurora borealis. Perhaps someday. Until then, I will enjoy your pictures!
Gorgeous images Patrick!
Love the photos, especially of the young moose. Maybe it’s the influence of Rocky and Bullwinkle, or the moose’s appearance on the TV show “Northern Exposure,” but I love moose. [ That view was altered, however, after I read Gary Paulson's "Hatchet" and "Guts." Both of them involve a run-in with a moose ... and it wasn't pretty.]
Lovely!
Amazing pictures! Wowzer!
I love receiving notices of your work in my inbox. I feel like I’m cheating somehow, getting to see your photos for free. They must be STUNNING up close and “in person.”
Beautiful as always!
Magnificent shots!! Especially the Northern Lights!! BRAVO!!
I seem to have a problem using your like button but got the comments working, I think… Maybe after commenting ‘like’ will start working too?
Great photos! And love the happy moose
Love the Northern Lights and the moose looks like he’s smiling.
Amazing photos of the Northern lights, plus the moose kinda looks like Joe Camel.
Stunning work! Thank you for liking my blog I was so amazed when I clicked on yours. You have such a tremendous eye and talent. Look out world!
Excellent shots
wow! amazingly beautiful pictures! congrats and keep up the amazing talent!
beautiful!!!!!
Fantastic northern lights! The colors go straight to the brain. It’s a wonderful complement to the leaf color in my town right now.
Those lights are amazing! But that moose, oh my goodness. He’s as cute as our grand-basset.
wow this is amazing!
you nailed it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are beautiful – what luck. I need to make it out to Canmore again very, very soon.
Excellent photos of the Northern Lights. I know they are the way solar activity looks in our atmosphere, but it really does look like the heavens opened, like God’s very spirit is upon all present.
Inspiring and breathtaking.
Wow! Amazing shots.
Amazing stuff
These are so incredible! I love the pictures of the clouds and the moose is so cute!
Awesome. I don’t think I could ever take shots with such precision.
I think I would love Canada! The nature seem to be a bit similar as in Finland, but ofcourse we dont have any mountains. Hope you some day go to Norwegian lappland to photogra
. Our countrys here are still quite clean and unpoluted, but i wonder for how long. Hope environment thinkingin Canada is better then in North America.
Magnificent shots!!!
amazing pictures! you’re such a lucky man!
Gah!! These are gorgeous!!!
Magical
Those photos are absolutely magical – made me speechless. Even if living in Sweden I have never seen the Northern Lights – Norrsken, as we call it.
Wow, great photos, what a beautiful area you live in.
Hi, thanks for the follow! So great to discover your blog, your photographs are absolutely stunning.
Per usual, your photos are stunning and exquisite. You are very talented, Patrick. I appreciate your stops by foodforfun. Thank you for the visits.
Magnificent photography. I especially like your third shot in this series. You didn’t get what you were looking for but captured something wonderful anyway. What were your settings for this, if you don’t mind sharing.
Awesome!
Just to reiterate what’s already been said, genuinely stunning photos you have here!
You always have extraordinarily beautiful work, Patrick! The northern lights were the best yet. You are so lucky to live in a beautiful place. Thanks for liking my blog, it’s quite a compliment when I see the quality work you do.
Oh holy!! That is so on my bucket list!!
Northern Lights are something I’ve always wanted to see and you’ve managed to capture something so pretty so beautifully.
Hi Patrick. What kind of exposure are you using on the Northern Lights? Are they that bright to the naked eye? They look like you could have reached out and touched them. Do they move or are they still, like sunbeams during the day? (Anyway, I’m sure I can check with Google God on that). The star backdrop and silhouette skyline make this a really stunning image. I am a compulsive obsessive star gazer so you have my attention. Did you notice you caught either a plane or a meteorite in the bottom left corner above the tree line? It’s a nice touch. Great pics all round. The moose is a winner (winners are grinners as they say.) Thanks for sharing. Yvette
Thanks. That particular night they were much dimmer to the naked eye, which allowed me to balance the exposure with the stars. I used a 30 second exposure for 1 of them. The lights do move through out the sky as well.
Stunning photos!
Breath-taking work. Thank you for sharing such wonderful images.
The black and white scene is my second fave. A picture paints a thousand words and those tree stumps (?) tell a story. Adds to the remoteness. It’s a moody kind of image. Grand and ominous at the same time.
Wow, the shots are so beautiful! It takes my breath away..
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the background info
OOOOh these are beautiful pictures!!!! My mom said she saw the lights for only a few minutes, but me being in VA, I can probably count on never seeing them.
Fascinating. That moose knows more about the stars above than we do.
That’s why he’s smiling.
Nice moose
these are beautiful – I’ve always wanted to see aurora borealis; very lucky
Reblogged this on sporadicuscogitatio; and commented:
a fellow Canadian artist !
the photography is stunning
I have no words. (well maybe four)
I love the Northern lights and the moose!
Beautiful.
A little glimpse of heaven….I love the shots of the Northern Lights. Thanks!
I love all of these photos, but that first one is especially stunning! You’re lucky to have such beauty nearby.
Wow! You take some gorgeous photos! The moose is just precious. I desperately need to get a new camera. I don’t think even with the best camera I could take pictures like you do. Great work! Beautiful blog.
Love the colors, so vivid!
Hi Patrick! I saw that you read my post “The Snob” and I hope you enjoyed my writings. I really love your pictures and it reminds me of my travels in the great Northwest and most recently New England. You’re very talented and an soft-footed to be able to capture a pic of the moose!
The photos of the Northern Lights are breath taking. Truly awesome. I felt very uplifted.
I love them all, amazing , epic images. I also love your nonchalant way of telling us your journey, It’s as if we are just chatting over a garden fence about your travels.
I now want a pet moose. Looks beautiful!
Thank you for the visit to my blog. I’m really happy that I have a chance to see your beautiful photography. You have a wonderful gift.
WOW these are amazing! You’re inspiring me to see aurora borealis even more!!!
These are some great photo’s as fall is rolling in!
Beautiful
Those are beautiful
Very very beautiful pictures, I love it very much.
As always, stunning photography. I so miss the northern lights since moving to Hawaii. But wouldn’t exchange the climate
Just Amazing!!
fabulous photos here
Fantastic! We used to get a good show of these at the lake I lived at. I’m always impressed by your photos but especially at the clarity of the night sky in these. That mouse looks healthy, good to see.
Wow! Amazing photos! Just beautiful!
<3!! The aurora is one of the best things I miss about living in Alaska. Many thanks for these!
I love your nighttime shots. they are so beautiful. i love looking at pictures of stars/galaxies
thanks for the info about the false malware messages. I’ve learned something new.
What incredible photos Patrick!!! thanks so much for sharing. Beautiful.
They are all great! A great work!!!
Sorry first night on an iPad. What I meant to say is great work! I really enjoy yhe moose. I miss having them in my yard when I lived in Smithers.
Your photos are amazing! Thanks for following and I look forward to more photos. They’re stunning.
Thank you for Liking my Blog.
The photos are awesome, specially the third one down! Mother nature can sure put on a display.
Thank you so much for sharing them.
Gorgeous, as always.
These are spook-tacular! I love the Moose. How do you pluralize “Moose”? Is it just Moose, Moose’s, or what? In any event these photo’s are amazing.
Amazing pictures, as usual. Thanks for getting up so early to take them!
Beautiful!
OMG….do you really took all these photos???? This looks like something worth of National Geographic magazine..this is amazing!!! How i wish i could see it for myself those Northern lights.. And you mister are definitely one amazing photographer, i give you that..I just love to see how the skies looks like in other countries…breathtaking… *beams*
I like your work Pat but more than that – I like your style…as a person…
If you ever plan on coming to Aus I’d love to catch up.
Those are some beautiful pictures!!!!
Perfect photos. You are both lucky to be able to be there and a good photographer.
beautiful! I pinned the moose!
Stunning photos! I love the moose
Gorgeous photographs! I love the composition of the first one, as it looks like you are looking straight up the trees. Also love the happy smile on the Moose!
Thanks for sharing,

I want to live in your photographs
Breathtaking.
The Northern Lights shots are gorgeous!
The first picture and of course the one with the moose doing the “deer in headlights” expression really stand out to me. The first picture is absolutely breath-taking truly, with the stars and everything! Thanks for the follow btw, its a pleasure to follow your beautiful blog back!
Beautiful!!!
Such beautiful pictures!
Beautiful Moose! I think I might just found a friend.
Hey, thank you for your attention– and for these absolutely magnificent photographs. Wow.
Whoa!
Absolutely magical and other-worldly!
Amazing photos dude!
Magical. Seeing the northern lights is a dream of mine… They must be tough to photograph. You really do take stunning pictures.
And the moose!
Thanks for wandering through my blog every once in a while!
Incredible! My dad lived for a number of years in Alaska and the photography that he gt back in the 60s was amazing but looking at them through your lens is breathtaking! Thank you for sharing your passion!
i love the pictures

Amazing photos.. the middle B & W is stunning.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh my god, these pictures are truly amazing, stunning, incrredibly beautiful! Wow!
Beautiful. I saw the northern lights in Iceland, but it was a little out of season so they were a little dim (though I did manage to capture them with a very long exposure) and not so colourful/vibrant as this.
stunning
Truly nice!!!
Beautiful. I’d like to see an Aurora someday.
Wow…great pictures.Like to see the northern lights
Beautiful pictures!
The night shots are fantastic
What amazing colors from the northern lights! I really hope one day I’ll be at the right place at the right time to witness such natural beauty too! Love the picture of the moose too by the way

Photographs of light in the sky right before the sunrise! Through the eyes of someone that has more than skills!
Fabulous images! Love those Northern lights, wish I could see them in person.
Patrick, these photos are wonderful. Thank you for taking us there! I live in a place where we see few stars and certainly no moose, as yet. I love the third astrophoto.
Maria
Stunning. Simply stunning. All of the work you’ve posted here is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your vision with the world, I can’t wait to show my daughter your site. She’s headed toward photography and being a painter and art teacher myself, I am thrilled!!
Those northern light night shots are incredible. I’m going to go ahead and add that to the “must see in real life” list.
This is beautiful! I love it =)
Oh wauw really love your photo’s!
these are insanely beautiful pictures.
Awe-inspiring!
Awesome stuff man! These pics are priceless.
The Northern Lights are just so beautifully – a subtle amazing pic. The girl is very cute too (and the moose)! k.
That’s one happy moose!
Stunning! The astro shots take my breath away. They remind me a little of the mac screensaver
Absolutely amazing!

Holy &%$@!!!!! That’s beautiful!
Wow.. Such an amazing view.. :O
The colours you captured of the northern lights are ones i have yet to see in the Rockies. You were pretty lucky to get nature to co-operate in different ways than you were expecting Patrick. Nice job of capturing these shots man
Your work is simply magical.
“The sunrise I was hoping for didn’t quite happen” Hopefully the tradeoff on the Northern Lights made up for it. It would for me, no doubt! Great shots, as usual.
Breathtaking. I find them inspiring and will probably write a poem or something as some of these are just so exquisite and thank you too for visiting my work and deciding it is worth following :0) Much appreciated. By the way I adore Canada, have good friends there, it is much like parts of Scotland UK
Beautiful photos…we wnat to go there
Such beautiful photography. Amazing talent.
Great! Lovely moos
Beautiful images. We also saw the Northern Lights while we were in the Yukon last August.
Gorgeous photos! What a great way to enable others to appreciate nature. Especially the fantastic stars which are hard to view so spectacularly in an urban setting.
Hope you’ll stop by and visit our blog again soon to learn more about sustainability issues.
Oh my gosh, those northern lights pictures are phenomenal! I need to see some someday! Lovely photography.
Hi Patrick
Thank you for your visit to my blog. Thought I would pay yours a visit as well and I must say, your pictures are amazing!!!
The pictures are so beautiful! Exquisite! That moose(at least I hope I have the animal right) is so cute! Those sceneries are breathtaking!
Beautiful mousse, I could almost reach out and touch it…I wish! The Northern Light photos are fantastic. It must have been a wonderful experience
Thank you for following my site. Your pictures are amazing. Living in Maine I can’t believe I have never been to Canada I really need to make a trip up that way. Cant wait to see what you post next.
Totally amazing, beautiful pictures! I was transported into another world. One day I must visit this place. Lovely work!
The Northern Lights photos are breathtaking…brought tears to my eyes!
Unbelievably beautiful. The Northern Lights – You’ve captured something elusive and incredibly Canadian in your work. Thank you so much for sharing visions of such rare beauty.
Moose make me happy.
it’s really beautiful!
Insanity!!!! Sooooo gorgeous!!! I miss Alberta…
You’ve got some seriously untrammeled beauty up there.
Love that moose pic.
fascinating..
Take me with you next time..
OMG! Your pictures are absolutely amazing!
That young moose is absolutely gorgeous… how close did you get? Love the stars and clouds above the mountains. Thanks for liking my (sometimes rather businessy) blog again!

Beautiful photos..obviously you LOVE the outdoors too. Thanks for liking my blog!
These photos are so beautiful. I popped one of those Northen Lights shots on my site, so people that come to visit me will hopefully see it and come and visit you. Thanks for the like of my post “Still Colorful in November”.
I love your photos! Thanks for liking my blog!
Absolutely love the Northern Lights shots, but have to say – that moose is awesome! Total bonus shot!
I love your pictures…I have always been intrigued by the northern lights. I would love to see it in person I bet it would be fascinating!
the long exposures of low lying clouds…and this was a ‘fallback’ for the sunrise that didn’t happen!!!….quite something
