Drakon - a photo on Flickriver

Drakon

            The saying of "photos do not do it justice" seems to be overused, but I think throughout my photo journey, this one place will be the first time I say it.

We had hiked in the day before to camp at this lake for our first night along the Enchantments Trail. I can vividly remember just standing there and my mind was stunned with how steep Aasgard's pass and Dragon Tail looked from the lake front. I had never seen with my own eyes something so massive before.

I've seen the photos and videos before but it never occurred to me just how large everything was through my own eyes. Seeing Aasgard's pass for the first time in person, I just though to myself, "how is climbing that thing possible?". This forever will be remembered with me and for that reason I firmly believe that the one time I use the saying, it will be saved for this place.
