Discover Alberta 2017 - The New Calendar !!

It is this time of the year again. Another year has passed and 2017 is around the corner, time to go through the image library of the last 12 months and assemble a piece of art of your walls – the second coming of my calendar “Discover Alberta”, a fifty piece limited edition.
​Last year I opted to get a simple and unproblematic design from a big Online-Printing company, however, I wasn’t 100% happy with the quality. So this year I wanted to make a truly contagious, high-quality and individual product, and this is what the team at Unicom Banff set up for me:

The calendar has a solid back-and front cover, which features an overview on the backside. Each month comes with a image, that does not carry any text in a size of 12x9” (30x22.5 cm). In the calendar part the week numbers are implemented, as this was a critique in last year’s edition and also as this will ship all over the globe no holidays are included. After December there is an extra page with some bonus images and a short bio followed by a brief 2018 overview.
​To get yours just E-Mail me, it is limited to 50 pieces !!!

And now the most important part, the images. I tried to select images that reflect the mood of the respective month and have been taken in that time of the year. So January starts out icy with a favourite of mine from early this year on a beautiful cold winter day along Abraham Lake, when everything was frozen in silence. February is still deep winter but changes occur and open water might be visible again, which is illustrated in this months image, showing the beauty of Yoho Nationalpark, just around the Alberta border. In March with the spring solstice the aurora tends to be particularly strong and it can occur early in the night, displayed in March’s picture with the lights dancing early in the night over Lake Minnewanka. In April the big freeze is over and more melt water runs down the streams such as the Kicking Horse River in Yoho Nationalpark, where the water falls down the Natural Bridge. One of our favourite off-the-beaten track spots this year was Kelley’s Bathtub just outside Hinton, a very peaceful scenery out there, with greens and lakes all over the place. June mornings can still be pretty cold in the mountains and mist will dance over the already warmed up waters of places like Bow Lake, one of the many beautiful lakes to visit along the Icefields Parkway. In July the nights in Alberta are not particularly long, but is there anything more beautiful then seeing the Milky Way reflect in the still waters of the famous Two Jack Lake near Banff? In August this year we hiked along the Five Lakes in Jasper Nationalpark with beautiful reflections of the evergreen forest in the turquoise waters. Fall comes quickly in September and the leaves turn golden, while moody clouds take over the scene here at Wedge Pond in Kananaskis, the not so hidden gem of Alberta. When the calendar turns to October most of the leaves in the River Valley of Edmonton will have turned yellow and started to fall, but they nicely contrast the brilliant colors of the prairie skies. In November the first ice forms along the Bow Valley while winter has already taken over on the highest peaks in Banff Nationalpark, such as Mt. Temple, that fights through the clouds here. Last but not least in December the darkest of the twelve months we are happy about every warm light we can get and here the welcoming sight of a shelter such as the mountain station of the Sulphur Mt. Skytram in Banff is a welcomed change in a dark winter night.
