Salut à tous, photographes, randonneurs et amoureux de la nature.
Voici quelques photos prises en Alberta, terre sauvage, au cours de l’été 2013, un peu avant les inondations à Calgary.
Je suis parti un week-end afin d’essayer (à nouveau) de photographier des grizzlis, mais je n’en ai point vu. Malheureusement.
Sur ces séries de photos, vous pourrez découvrir les alentours du lac Rockbound dans le Parc National de Banff, le Canyon Johnston, le lac Moraine, La Vallée des Dix Pics et le lac Consolation.
Mais vous pourrez également voir la beauté de la région de Kananaskis et du Parc Provincial Peter Lough Reed, avec les lac Haut et Bas, puis les lacs Burstall.




















Sommets enneigés, glaciers, forêts sauvages, rivières et ruisseaux font partie de cette nature incroyable. Soleil, brume et nuages se succèdent en créant une atmosphère qui vous prend intensément.
Mais la faune sauvage est également magnifique. Une petite anecdote autour de ces deux ours noirs (une mère et son imposant petit), est que j’ai ma plus longue randonnée (jusqu’à présent…), pour rencontrer des ours, et j’ai repéré ces deux-là à côté de la route, alors que je me rendais sur un autre spot de randonnée. 40 kilomètres à randonner, de 6h du matin a 22h le soir, et rien… 15 minutes de route et hop, deux ours :/
Mais j’ai croisé des… fourmis noires :) , écureuils, cerfs, chevreuils et autres bêtes féroces.













Le lac Moraine, le lac Consolation… zones réputées pour l’observation des grizzlis (et des touristes), mais encore une fois, rien. J’ai croisé des randonneurs venant de Suisse, France, Belgique et de Calgary. J’ai pu marcher quelques kilomètres avec eux et ainsi échanger nos impressions. Après cela, j’ai repris mon chemin au milieu des Rocheuses Canadiennes.
C’est un endroit incroyable qui mérite d’être respecté et protégé. Alors j’espère que si vous vous rendez là, vous en profiterez au maximum et laisserez la nature régner en maître.




























J’espère que vous avez aimé mes photos et que vous êtes à présent motivés pour aller errer dans les bois. En Alberta sur sa terre sauvage…
Prenez soin de vous et prenez des photos!
