Avalanche Creek is located in Glacier
National Park in the upper northwest
area of Montana Avalanche Lake Avalanche Lake
Not only is Glacier
National Park
You need to be careful as there are some spots where the
gorge drops over 40-feet into the water below.
I'll tell on myself.
I was at a particular area which had a small waterfall and wanting to
get a better angle attempted to negotiate down a "slight" grade only
to end up slipping and finding myself butt first in some very cold water. I kept the camera dry and after getting out
and walking less than 1/2 mile came across the image seen here.
This was in September 2006 and turned out to be on of the last
images I took using a 35mm camera. I
remember sitting on a rock with wet cold pants and equally wet boots however I
couldn't pass up the chance to capture this scene. Using a tripod I captured 11 images to use in
making this panorama.
This was captured in 2006 and printed
shortly after we returned home; the original
print offered was a 60 x 20 image. I've
decided to use the same captures to make a new print series this time
60x24. The new release is not only
slightly larger it also show slightly more of the rushing water than
before. The processing has allowed me to
end up with a better image than we had before which will be printed on the
Epson 9900 on Breathing Colors Lyve canvas which I feel is much better than was
offered 6-years ago. There will be a
total of 10 images printed with the first already spoken for so leaving 9 left.
It's our intention to return to Glacier National Park in the
future in hopes of capturing the beauty of Avalanche Creek in medium format;
however 6-years is a long time between visits and there's no telling what we'll
find there.
This image will shortly be placed in our on-line web gallery
with the older image removed.
As always thank you for allowing us to share and remember
your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
