Graveyard Flats
When out shooting with a group, it is sometimes hard to keep people out of your shot, but sometimes their tracks still get included. It makes me wonder where they were going and why I don’t see them in the distance.

Graveyard Flats Snowbank
I’ve been doing more work in Black and White lately. Some of it is a return to my roots developing and printing my film, without the chemicals, smells and mess; and some due to lively discussions with friends aimed at working a better image. This has been mistaken as a night image but it was shot around lunch time in late November a few years ago. I wanted the dark moodiness and the reappearance of the sun to relieve us from a sombre time.

Open Water
This image was taken in 2009 on Darwin Wiggett’s Fire & Ice Photo Tour. The location is Graveyard Flats on the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper National Parks. The snow encroaching on the open water is just over knee deep and there were significantly deeper spots getting to this location. I remember it as the beautiful day that it appears to be here. One of the things I love about photography is that it preserves your memories.

Graveyard Flats–BNP
When I visited Graveyard Flats in November 2009 it was covered in snow and looked pristine, but apparently things were not all they seemed. Shooting at the same location in the summer, Darwin Wiggett discovered beneath the snow, garbage like oil drums and other things, possibly dating from the road construction.

Darwin Wiggett is working on organizing a clean up of the Graveyard Flats area in Banff National Park. If you would like to help or contribute, Please let Darwin know.
