Upon the Top of That Jagged Ridge (Banff National Park)

            Upon the Top of That Jagged Ridge
I stood near the silent lake
I closed my eyes and dreamt of a beautiful world
But it couldn’t compare to what my eyes had seen

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one late morning along the shores of Vermillion Lakes in Banff National Park. This setting is looking to the southeast at the peaks and ridges of Mount Rundle and Sanson Peak. In composing this image, I decided to keep a balance between the reflections and the actual mountains, with a horizon more or less leveled-on.
