Flight Time

It seems every flight we take through the mountains reveals a different scene. Last night's flight out was magic. Fortress Lake, fresh from ice out, went completely still as the sun set, mountains glowing. I did something a little different, getting AJ to sit up front so I could video tape the take off from a different vantage. It didn't work out as well as I hoped but the film shows well of different aspects. As we flew home the light continued to amaze, coupled with a snowsquall near Roche Miette that provided both a halo rainbow below us and wonderous reveals of the peak itself. As we neared the landing on the outside world, the sun wrapped along the spruce and aspen laded foothills, low enough angle to cause dark understory, yet wrapped in the canopy enough to glow the early spring leaves. As always, the flight provided moments not experienced previously. After 13 years of flying through the mountains as a fly fishing guide and 5 years prior that with the Alberta and BC Forest Services, there is always something else to see, observe, and enjoy.
