Winter Landscapes - XIII: Winter Sunset over the Continental Divide

Continuing my series on Winter Landscapes we go to the Continental Divide in the Canadian Rockies.

As I was coming back from Lake Louise in Alberta and crossing over the Continental Divide into Yoho National Park in British Columbia I saw this amazing sunset reflecting off a river. I immediately pulled off to the side knowing I wouldn't have a lot of time to get a photo. But I did manage a few. Here's one of those:

First, a welcome to new visitors this past week: Taiwan, Lithuania, Switzerland, Belgium, Libya, Guatemala, Columbia, and Chile. Thank you. Christine and I hope you enjoy visiting us and our love of nature.

Today's "5" Star photo is another Black Bear. This one I found near the Continental Divide on Mt. Sinclair, Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. It was a fully grown (500 pound) male enjoying the dandelions on the mountainside. He has obviously spotted me, and in another moment will run down the mountain and out of sight. I got this photo before he "got away." Look how beautiful his coat is:
