That Sky...!

This scan is from a recently processed batch of large format 4" x 5" negatives.  This was shot on Rollei RPX-25 film with my Ebony SV45TU view camera and a Schneider Apo-Symmar 135mm lens.  I used a #25 Red filter to deepen the clear blue sky and make the whispy clouds and mare's tails stand out.  This was taken on the August long weekend of 2019, just over a month ago.  My friends Chris and Connie and I made a stop at Whirlpool Point.  Here the North Saskatchewan river exits the Rockies and drains northeast through the Kootenay Plains.  The glacier visible on the right is the Wilson Icefield.  Meltwater from this glacier is "harvested" just beyond the Banff National Park boundary and trucked to Edmonton for bottling.  It is sold as bottled spring water under various store brand names.
