Wei Hong Liu, Banff’s Untamed Majesty: A Journey Through Light and Stone (LANDSCAPE 2025)

This series captures the raw beauty and shifting moods of Banff National Park, Canada’s crown jewel of the Rockies. In the first frame, Moraine Lake glistens under a clear blue sky, its surreal turquoise waters cradled by towering peaks and mirrored canoes — a scene of vibrant stillness and inviting adventure. The second image shifts to a mystical morning mist, where a solitary peak rises above a sea of clouds, cloaked in ethereal fog, evoking a sense of solitude and wonder. The final photograph reveals the sheer grandeur of ancient stone — massive, time-carved cliffs crowned by drifting clouds, standing as silent sentinels over the forest below. Together, these images unveil a landscape of contrasts — vivid and serene, mysterious and monumental — reflecting Banff’s timeless allure.
