Vermillion Lake, Banff National Park https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/wedge-pond-blues/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Wedge-Pond-Blues.jpg Wedge Pond Blues My first time photographing at Wedge Pond in Kananaskis. This pond is quite popular during fall as Kananaskis really lights up with fall trees to make a wonderful contrast to the blue and purple skies during sunrise! Wedge Pond, Kananaskis https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/walk-in-the-park/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Walk-in-the-Park.jpg Walk in the Park I was actually en route back from a sunset shoot at another location when I decided to drop into one of my favourite train viewing spots in Banff.

I went up again the following day and the water was incredibly still, the clouds parted an hit the high peaks on Mt. Grassi that allowed me to get this image. Such a beautiful afternoon!

In 2014, I hiked to the bus Christopher McCandless called home for 100 days. The story of Chris McCandless which was popularized in the book and film Into The Wild was a very big inspiration for me to move to Canada. I travelled to Alaska from Canada at the end of my first visa for the sole reason of seeing the bus with my eye own eyes. It was a two-day hike to get to the bus, 52km total round trip. Crossing the Teklanika River was exceptionally difficult and nearly forced us to turn back (several people have died attempting to cross). Sleeping in the bus was the most peaceful, tranquil rest of my entire life. In such a busy world it felt like I was in the exact place I was meant to be. I was still quite pretty new to photography at the time, I had my old Canon 7D Mk 1. Still so happy with how the images turned out.

I raced up to Morant's Curve to get ready for the shot. The sun had just started to light up the tracks on Morant's Curve when the train came through, the incredible color combination of the red train, blue sky and amber fall trees makes this one of my all-time favourite train images.

This image of the Rocky Mountaineer in Banff National Park is one of my favorite images. The sun had just dipped over the horizon before the world famous train came barrelling past. There is a brief period of the year when you can photograph the Rocky Mountaineer in Banff during sunset and I was lucky enough to see it during such a magical Banff evening.

Seaford Pier, Melbourne https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/cp-train---three-sisters-magic/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-68.jpg CP Train - Three Sisters Magic I looked outside my apartment window on this particular afternoon and saw some really incredible low-hanging clouds around Three Sisters Peaks. For some time I had been eyeing this particular location so I grabbed my camera and headed out the door. I was perched at this location for around an hour waiting for a train to pass by and was not disappointed when it did, really wonderful combination of train and mountain composition. Canmore, Canada https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/fish-beach/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-66.jpg Fish Beach I frequently photograph at Morant's Curve in Banff National Park, however to the left of this area is this stretch of railroad track which is lesser known. Here, the views and picturesque scenery are equally incredible. This train came past approximately twenty minutes after I arrived (very handy). The light hitting the Bow River, snow-capped mountains and train made for a very vibrant scene! Banff National Park https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/canmore-engine-bridge/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-65.jpg Canmore Engine Bridge The Canmore Engine Bridge was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in 1891 on a railroad spur line to serve a coal mine. The old rail spur is now the Bow River Loop Trail. The main span of this bridge actually dates to 1880. It appears to have been salvaged from another bridge, a two-span Whipple truss that had its truss lines doubled up to create a single, stronger span. I had wanted to photograph this bridge for quite some time, I found a unique want to photograph it was to place my camera directly onto the bridge frame to encase Mount Grassi within the steel structure of the bridge. The sunset hit perfectly during this time to create quite a scene! Canmore, Canada https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/sunset-boulevard/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-63.jpg Sunset Boulevard I was very lucky to capture a rare Orange Livery CP Train during sunset on this particular evening. This location is close to my heart and a lesser-known train-spotting location in the Canadian Rockies (my secret). I thought I may have missed my chance to get a great shot this evening but thankfully this beauty came past at just the right moment. One of my favourite photographs. Alberta, Canada https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/pacific-blues/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-62.jpg Pacific Blues This image was captured on the first day of spring 2023. This location is an incredible place to photograph trains set against the backdrop of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. I waited patiently on the ridge for a train (can be quite difficult standing for long periods of time when it's chilly out). My patience was rewarded in this case as I was able to capture this amazing scene. Banff National Park https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/morants-curve-bliss/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-61.jpg Morant's Curve Bliss With the rise of social media, the popularity of Morant's Curve has grown exponentially in the last five-six years. Now you will find a secure viewing platform, this is a nice addition as photographers used to huddle in the bushes waiting for trains to come past. I photographed this training heading west through the curve during a winter sunset, the sun setting over the mountain tops created an incredible scene.

I had actually stumbled across this spot on a scouting drive on a winter evening. By an incredible stroke of luck, when I got out of my car and approached the bridge I could see a train approaching immediately (very rare). I quickly took out my camera and adjusted the settings to capture this train during the final moments of dusk.

The stunning Three Sisters Peaks are synonymous with the region. In 1883, Albert Rogers named these mountains the Three Nuns after a storm left a heavy veil of snow on the northern face of all three peaks.

Canmore, Alberta https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/jasper-locomotive/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Jasper-Locomotive.jpg Jasper's Locomotive I had my eye on this location in Jasper for quite some time however photographing trains can be tricky given the irregularity of their schedule. I was on a morning shoot in April 2020, the National Park was closed to visitors due to the Covid Pandemic so I had the entire area to myself. As I was crossing the tracks I saw this locomotive moving slowly towards the town with Whistler's Mountain positioned perfectly behind the train. I quickly adjusted my settings and captured this image which I am in love with. Sometimes you can try to capture an image for months before the right moment presents itself.

The Athabasca River forks around this lone island and pours down into the falls. Sunwapta is actually a Stoney language word meaning "turbulent water." Sunwapta Falls, Jasper National Park https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/mordialloc-pier/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-46.jpg Mordialloc Pier Storm Melbourne is frequently treated to epic sunsets, on this particular evening a strong gale had been battering the coast all day. When I arrived at Mordialloc Pier to shoot I was greeted with tremendously fierce winds, the ocean was battering the pier and waves were actually rising up through the planks. This image shows the last moments of the sunset, the sun was able to briefly pierce through the clouds on what had been just moments before a quite miserable evening. You never know when moments of magic will happen on a shoot.

Frequently, visitors to the shoreline are treated to exceptional sunsets. This scene was captured on a warm summer evening in December 2022, the sun had been hiding behind a thick layer of cloud on the horizon, it was only for a brief ten minutes or so during the final moments of the sunset that the sky was lit up with the vibrant colours you see here.

In 2014, I hiked to the bus Christopher McCandless called home for 100 days. The story of Chris McCandless which was popularized in the book and film Into The Wild was a very big inspiration for me to move to Canada. I travelled to Alaska from Canada at the end of my first visa for the sole reason of seeing the bus with my eye own eyes. It was a two-day hike to get to the bus, 52km total round trip. Crossing the Teklanika River was exceptionally difficult and nearly forced us to turn back (several people have died attempting to cross). Sleeping in the bus was the most peaceful, tranquil rest of my entire life. In such a busy world it felt like I was in the exact place I was meant to be. I was still quite pretty new to photography at the time, I had my old Canon 7D Mk 1. This was the very first photo I took of the bus that I captured within a few minutes of arriving. Stampede Trail, Alaska https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/pyramid-mountain/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-24.jpg Sweet Serenity Jasper I captured this image on a morning photoshoot, I was driving to Pyramid Island when I spotted this lone canoe drifting in the middle of Pyramid Lake.

I was perched next to the Athabasca River waiting patiently for the sun to rise over Sunwapta Mountain. Without a cloud in the sky, when the sun finally showed its face its strength was quite almighty and the light bounced off the frozen river and icy surroundings.

An open forest of lodgepole pine and spruce, home of moose, Harlequin Ducks, and many other types of wildlife surround visitors at the north end of the lake. Hiking and, in winter, cross-country skiing trails abound making this a popular retreat at all times of the year.

Jasper National Park, Canada https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/freight-train-3/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-12.jpg Sidewinder Canada I had seen this location in Jasper on a scouting trip and wanted to photograph a train here again the backdrop of the mountain. I was in the town of Jasper when I saw a train heading East toward this location, I jumped into my car and tried to get ahead of the train. It was going to be so close that I was prepping my camera while driving. When I pulled up at the location the train was only a couple of hundred meters away. I quickly ran to the grass verge and snapped five quick photographs. What you see here is the last photograph, I am thrilled at how well if turned out.

I was looking for a place to photograph in Jasper on this very cold February morning (-25°c) in 2019, I passed the level crossing and caught a glance of this CN train idling in the rail yard framed against Roche Bonhomme in the distance. I immediately pulled over and headed onto the tracks, I snapped a collection of photographs while I was kneeling on the tracks at a low angle, I was only there for a few minutes before the train reversed back into the yard and out of frame. My hands were incredibly painful afterwards from the cold exposure but it was certainly worth the pain to get this shot.

Melbourne, Australia https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/princess-pier/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-4.jpg Princess Princes Pier is a 580-metre-long historic pier on Port Phillip, in Port Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was known as the New Railway Pier until renamed Prince's Pier after the Prince of Wales who visited Melbourne in May 1920. With the containerization boom the pier became unused, being closed to public access in the early 1990s due to the poor timber condition, and squatters caused a fire in the late 1990s that destroyed the store structures. In the three years to 2004, 14 fires occurred. The first 196 metres of the Pier were fully restored in 2006, beyond that point the decking was removed and the original pylons preserved in what you see here. What remains is now an iconic photo location of a small piece of history for the city of Melbourne.

This image was captured at 5:27AM on June 20th, 2019 (one day before the Summer solstice).

Jasper National Park, Canada https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/photo/medicine-lake-1/ https://www.alexanderjonesphotography.com/images/xl/Big-Watermark-Website-28.jpg Stairway to Heaven Jasper Medicine Lake is a geologic anomaly in the sense that it is not actually a lake but rather an area in which the Maligne River (flowing from Maligne Lake into the Athabasca River) backs up and suddenly disappears underground as a losing stream. During the summer months during intensified meltwater runoff, the lake (which during the winter months is a meandering frozen river) fills to levels which fluctuate over time and with the runoff events. Much like a bathtub that is filled too fast for it to drain, it becomes laden with water until it can slowly drain as the tap flow is reduced. The scene was captured in the depths of winter, the riverbed had completely drained out, and all that was left was the bare ground that was completely covered in a thick layer of snow. As the winter sun rose behind Annunciation Peak the thick rays of sunlight filled the valley providing a tremendous sense of warmth in what had been a cold, desolate wasteland only moments prior.
