A View From The Ice Fields Parkway

There was a significant variety of rugged landscape views from the Ice Filed Parkway. I remember how windy and bitter cold it was at this pullout but still worth taking time to photograph. I suspected that at some point there had been some type of mining done at this location.

Very beautiful with wonderful details. V

This is magnificent, Dave. I love the overall drama of seeing all this massive rock framed like this and the myriad of different types of rock formations that you captured. Which park was this in? ~VVV~

The variation in the landscape is fascinating to see. V

The rugged nature of this scene along with the feeling of cold makes this so powerful! I love the beauty found in these details! V

That is an impressive landscape, and I am always fascinated by how immense scale can get lost in these views

A magnificent landscape, so beautifully shown in all its rugged majesty.

It’s incredible to think that was in September. The lines in the rocks, with the snow and heavy clouds are a magnificent combination. V

Beautiful rugged wintry mountain scene Dave.

Nice work! These details are stunning. V

Seeing is believing. You've captured the incredible wonder of nature. Th upper half and lower half of the same mountain can be so different: one is grey, and one is brown, one has horizontal patterns, one has vertical, one is rock, and one is sandstone.....marvelous contrast. ~VVVVV~

Such an interesting contrast in landscape, well captured. V.

Very well seen - yes. the hills in front look quite different from the rugged mountains in the back. (V)

Another grand landscape even if the foreground is a response to disturbance.

Good idea to stop and take the time for this so beautiful and impressive shot :)) V

Grandiose. V

Power, grit, and glory! BV~

Effective capture of this rugged landscape. I love it. You also get a good sense of the scale of things from the size of the vehicles (I think!) at the bottom of the picture.
