Mount Rundle in Banff National Park



Mount Rundle is probably the most photographed mountain in Banff National Park. It's beautiful and easy to get to. There is a paved road near the town of Banff which leads to the Vermillion Lakes and wonderful views of the mountain.

The following photos of Mount Rundle were created over the course of several years. Depending on factors such as; cloudiness, time of day, wind, weather, and season the mountain appears very different. That's one of the best things about photographing nature, no matter how many times I photograph the same location it is never the same.

The only thing constant is change.
