Pyramid Lake Road

When Steve and Jon and I arrived in Jasper after the long slow drive out from Edmonton, it was only around lunch time on Friday the 13th of October.  It was too early to check into our hotel, but the weather wasn't really cooperating much for photography either.  We decided to scout around a bit, and see what conditions would be like for later in the weekend, when hopefully the weather would break.  We headed up the Pyramid Lake Road on the bench above town.  By the time we got up there, despite the fact that it was still heavily overcast, the snow was beginning to let up.  There was sort of a hush over everything, as is typical when the fresh snow muffles sounds.  We wandered around a bit up at Pyramid Lake, and then eventually made our way back down towards town.  We made a stop in the aspen grove along the road and actually got the big cameras out for a bit.  I have shot here a number of times before, but this time there was a heavy fresh snow all over the aspen trunks that looked pretty cool.  Once we finished up here it was still fairly early, so we continued on our reconnaissance mission...
