Whistler Mountain, Canada




One of the most memorable mountain hikes, surrounded with glacier-age white caps and freezing-cold ponds and lakes. Since I am not a landscape photographer, most of my memories are in me rather than on film. Except this one which was a challenge to take and an even bigger challenge to print in my darkroom.
A toe-dipping in a glacial lake, under the quiet look of the mountain.
Taken with a Nikon F2, 50mm 1.4 Nikkor lens, and ASA 100 film. It was shot handheld, mirror locked-up, and I had time to take only one picture before the sirens moved. Or did they plunge back into the frozen waters where sirens live?
