Great colors!

Often find some of my best photos after the plan goes to shit.

The reflection is amazing

Yes that's where the treasure is buried

X-Men, meet the X-Them.

Yeah, I’ll see myself out.

This was real, it's a single image and it lasted for minutes.

Here is internet link to similar:

From their explanation: "Double rainbows, which follow the same arc as each other, occur when sunlight is internally reflected as it passes through the raindrops. Effectively another arc of light emerges but the resulting secondary bow is less bold in its colouring and the colours are reversed. You can see this in Gordon's Weather Watcher picture.
So what of the third bow? This is known as a reflection bow. Whilst rare, a reflection rainbow mainly occurs when the sun is lower on the horizon behind you (i.e. late afternoon/evening) and when you are near to a large body of water, such as a river, lake or sea inlet.
Sunlight reflects off the surface of the water and through raindrops, but at a different angle to the direct beam of sunlight."

Aurora Borealis and a total solar eclipse are two things I must see in my lifetime.

Looks so majestic.

This should not be possible with a single source of light. I don't want to call shenanigans, but I also can't think of a legitimate explanation.

Peyto!

X marks the pot of gold?

Peyto without literal busloads of loud tourists! Great shot.

Some of my ancestors are from Northeastern Italy. Every time I see pictures of the Dolomites I feel like I should go learn more about that part of my family's history and explore the area.

There are rainbows, double rainbows and sometimes X pattern showing rainbows.

Imagine living in a country where that is considered a consolation prize lol

People who live in this place don’t even need a lamp at night

Peyto lake?

Nice shot man. That October was pretty stellar for us with auroras. Peyto is a solid place to go watch for sure.

Yeah it looks so surreal it feels like it’s out of reach. Thanks for the insight.

Some of the best times tend to be around the spring and autumnal equinox. If I were to plan a trip that would be my choice time. There are quite a few factors that play into the Aurora making an appearance so it’s difficult to plan for a certain day. Normally you can make an educated guess for what might happen 3 days from now but that doesn’t always hit either.

This spot is a 5-15 minute walk depending on if this is the trail or the platform. If you could fly in to Calgary, then rent a car, or take a bus line to Canmore or Banff and bus/bike/e-bike easily. Still impressive effort to get here for the lights at night.
