Emerald Pools Beneath the Falls

from $34.00

The trail to Wapta Falls was muddy from the rains the night before - the kind of thick, sticky spring mud that clings to your boots with every step and makes the forest feel wilder, more alive. We wove our way through towering evergreens, their needles damp from recent rain, and the scent of pine and wet earth filled the air. It was quiet, save for the distant, growing roar of water ahead. A promise of what was to come.

And then, the trees parted.

Wapta Falls thundered into view, massive and powerful, even under a thick, overcast sky. The waterfall poured from the Kicking Horse River in a wide curtain of white, crashing down with a force that shook the air. Mist billowed up from the base, swirling and dancing in the breeze, and where it gathered, it carved out emerald pools - still and glassy - as if nature had left little mirrors at the foot of this mighty drop.

The water itself was stunning - a rich turquoise that seemed to glow even in the soft, gray light of the cloudy day. It was the kind of color that doesn’t quite feel real until you see it in person, framed by moss-covered rocks and springtime forest.

We stood in awe for a long while, just listening to the sound of it all - the falls, the breeze, the subtle drip of water from the trees around us. It wasn’t a bluebird day. It wasn’t warm or easy. But that made it feel all the more earned - a quiet spring morning with mud on our boots, mist in the air, and a front-row seat of raw, untamed beauty.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
