While capturing images of Upper Lake Kananasksis, a moose emerged from a wooded area at the edge of the lake. For what seemed an eternity, the moose stopped and stared directly at me. Deciding that it did not want to proceed with a course that would have taken it directly to me, the moose turned ninety degrees, walked directly in front of me across a spit of land protruding into the lake and then without hesitation swam the remaining 50 meters to the opposite shore. Having actively searched for moose to photograph for several years, I was overwhelmed at my good fortune. I had just captured a moose, mirror reflection, distant waterfall, and mountains all in one scene.

Fantastic image John I just love the idea of that silhouetted horse that gives the image depth and scale!

Thank you for your comments. I was drawn to this image by the variation of light, textures, and colors. The moose was simply good luck. I have posted some new images from the same area. Take a look if you like.

Absolutely amazing how much the moose adds to the image. The story (every picture tells one) attention changes to that of the movement of the moose.
What kind of horseshoes do you carry?

Thank you. I was quite fortunate to have been there. The moose appeared at the edge of the woods, stopped to look at me, calmly walked directly across the frame, and then swam the rest of the way across.
