Photographic opportunities galore
David Thompson Country, just east of Banff National Park in central Alberta, is one of our favorite places to explore and take pictures. There is spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife in the area providing wonderful photographic opportunities.
If a photography workshop is in your plans this year, you might want to consider our Outdoor and Nature Photography Workshop. May 21st to 23rd, 2015 is coming up fast, so don’t think on it too long, or the opportunity will pass you by. The best place to stay in the David Thompson Country area is Aurum Lodge and that is where we hold our workshops. Here are a few images that we have taken in the area around the lodge. – Leslie
