• Long-exposure photograph of flooded aspen trees in the Kootenay Plains of Alberta near the Canadian Rockies, with pale trunks rising from calm reflective water in autumn.

Ablution

This photograph was made in the Kootenay Plains of Alberta, beneath the towering giants of the Canadian Rockies, during a short seasonal window when water spreads across an aspen grove, submerging the forest floor. The effect is temporary and easy to miss, transforming a familiar stand of trees into something quieter and more abstract.

A long exposure smooths the surface of the water, allowing the pale aspen trunks to rise cleanly through it. Their spacing evokes a sense of order, while small leaves drift beneath the surface, adding subtle movement. The scene feels less like a place you pass through and more like one you pause inside, shaped as much by timing as by light.
