Default Great Photo

Rob; this looks a lot like the landscape around the eastern slopes of the Rockies (Alberta). It looks so familiar, I had to check a number of places I thought it could be, but I haven't found a match... yet. Are there any markings on the back of the photo that might give a hint?

One place I double checked was Vermillion Lakes (near Banff, AB), but the hill in the background is different.

Default You may have the right place...

Wayne you may have hit the target...... if the angle of your Vermilllion lake picture was shifted to the right....... or move the position of the camera down the road closer to the head of the lake....... a lot of very similar features between the two pictures........ the icefield/gravel slide leading into the lake may now have been covered with vegetation.............

Verm2.jpgHow about this...? There is potentially a slight trace of a slide chute in the proper location.

The trees are definitely a lot larger now, as I believe this area was completely burnt about 100+ years ago (the railway started a huge fire in the area, I think).

Default I think you got it.....

Too many similarities.......has to be Vermillion Lake.

Snow in the mountain of the original ...changes in vegetation but the right mountain.

Thanks for the feedback. I got this from the Antique motorcycle site. One of the gents says it is Canadian Military convoy to Banff , Alberta in 1944.
