Description

Sub-alpine Cameron Lake is one of the many scenic lakes within the boundaries of Waterton Lakes National Park in south-western Alberta, Canada. It is at the end of the 16 km. scenic road from the park townsite, in a pristine wilderness of water, mountains and forests. Taken in Mid-June, the lake is still partially frozen, with small stretches of open water starting to appear. The south end of the lake is in Montana, where Waterton joins Glacier National Park to form the Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and generally considered to be the roof of the North American continent. Waterton is the smallest of the Canadian Rocky Mountain national parks, but in many ways is the most beautiful, and certainly more peaceful and serene.

A little about me:
My name is Janet but I go by Jann, and I am originally from Ontario, Canada and have lived on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, since 1985.
I love the seacoast and mountains, so many of my photos are from British Columbia, Alberta, Vancouver Island, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island. My main photo themes are sea, coastal,villages, people, portraits, mountains, trees, lakes, waterfalls, flowers, nature,wildlife, birds, animals, landscapes, sunsets, and the great National Parks of Canada such as Jasper,Banff, Waterton, Cape Breton Highlands, Yoho, Glacier, Kootenay,Mt. Robson, Strathcona and others.............................

In the art world, I was initially trained as a Commercial Artist and Illustrator and eventually explored many other methods of art/style as well as other mediums. I work in pencil, ink, acrylics, watercolor and oil pastels. I have also enjoyed mosaic design and application, floor murals, wall murals, collapsible screens, floor cloths, graphic design. Explored sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, hand painted furniture, refinishing old frames with gold leaf or faux finishes, interior design and interior decorating.
.............
With the advent of digital cameras I came to really enjoy photography both as an artistic expression as well as a foundation for capturing interesting and exciting compositions to be painted later.
My recent creative endeavour was graduating from a certified Cosmetology Program (hairstylist and esthetics) in March 2009.
