For over ten years now I have been printing a calendar of my photographs. I don't sell this one, as I do with the David Thompson Calendar. Rather I give this one away to friends and family. It's getting a little costly on a retired guy's budget and I spend around $400 per year plus some mailing costs. But everyone seems to really like the calendars, and I actually get requests for them.
I've actually had the calendars for a couple of weeks now, and have only managed to distribute a handful of them. First there was the strike by Canada Post that crippled the shipping industry, With the union ordered back to work deliveries are now beginning to get back on track. But, I'm laid up with this busted leg of mine and can't get out and about to do too much right now. I hope to get them all distributed within the next week or two.
Below is the cover of this year's calendar, as well as the January image. The cover is a shot of the rocks along Horseshoe Lake in Jasper National Park. I shot this a couple years ago on a Monochrome Guild outing. I understand that the big forest fire in Jasper this past year started right in this area and that much of the area surrounding the lake was burnt. I haven't been back yet to check it out.
The January image is a grove of aspen trees on the shore of Abraham Lake. These trees are inundated with water every fall when the level in the reservoir peaks at its maximum. Then over the late fall and through the winter, the water is let out of the dam, and the level drops way down.
