Two Jack Lake
Directions
Take Highway 1 from Calgary and turn right at the first Banff exit. From here follow the signs for Two Jack Lake
Background
I didn’t find a composition I liked at the shoreline, but there was some amazing light hitting the distant cascade mountain range.
After leaving I came across an elk in a nearby field.
AMAZING!
Unbelievably beautiful. Words can’t do justice…

Patrick: These are tremendous images…what a great representative of the Elk population this big boy is.
He’s breathtaking.

Such gentle eyes the elk seems to have – and maybe a smile. Lucky encounter, and you’ve got the skill to take advantage of it. thanks

Stunning as always Patrick. I always look forward to your images ariiving in my inbox.
All beautiful, the the last one is magnificent…
Love the wildlife. Nothing like being stared down by an elk!
Here I come face to face with the White Tail deer often. It’s a wonderful moment making that connection.
Gorgeous!!
It is beautiful.. are you always on the roads clicking? Amazing passion!
Beautiful and thrilling.
omg…. love em!
Absolutely LOVE the way the sun’s reflection makes that snow-covered mountain look purple. LOVE this time of year!!!
Great images – love the stag’s look to camera! Why is it called Two Jack Lake, though?!
I’ve photographed elk at my sister’s place in the Olympic Mountains– I’m always awed by them. Wonderful pictures!
It would sure be hard to stay at home with views and wildlife like that!! So enjoyed these.
That looked like an early morning shot of the mountains? I don’t do mornings – and now I see what I could be missing.
Your camera and you has a great passion going on – that stag photo is priceless.
