Little bit of info about this spot: It used to be a spot where tourists could stop, with a picnic area and some informative signs about the great divide. Then they closed the old highway, and it’s being slowly reclaimed by nature…
I like this one much more. The colors are punchy but not over the top. It’s fun that you feature the three main colors of light – red, green and blue – so prominently, too. Well done.
Not saturated enough for me [:-,]
Seriously though, a really nice photo. Now if there was only a way to Photoshop all the graffiti…
How could we guess that???[:)] Nice shot though.
I hesitate to ask, (don’t want to seem ignorant) but who is James Hector? And how did you get RP to accept a photo showing a train obscured by a foreground object?
…The photo is nice and sharp and colorful…Very nice to my eyes. Beautiful scenery in the distance too.
If you would have waited another few milliseconds the monument would have covered the graffiti.
Great photo!
He’s the guy who got kicked by the horse in the pass. Nearly got buried alive before he work up.
Oh yeah, and he kinda discovered the pass too. Knight of the British Empire and all that jazz.
And to the last bit? I’m me. It’s how I roll. Just look at all my cloudy photos on the site.

Amazing how many things are discovered more or less by “accident” or serendipity. Good thing, too - imagine how different the Canadian rail system would be if there were no Kicking Horse Pass and Rogers Pass !
Just took a brief look at your portfolio over on RP.net - Wow ! I’d seen a few before, but they’re all good, and most are excellent - even in the “thumbnail” view. The comments are informative and funny, too (the train in the fog/ snow with about only the headlight and ditchlights showing - “Who could tell which one it was ?” LOL !). I’ll have to spend some more time there. It’s all “eye candy” [tup] - now, if they’d only get rid of that distracting clutter of the pictures of and ads with the scantily clad young women . . . [;)]
