Waterton Lake — Photo 30 — Project 365

An easy hike starting across from the road to the Prince of Wales hotel is Bear”s Hump. The view, as noted above, is magnificent!

This image is actually the result of several overlapping images that have been stitched together. By holding the settings constant (focal distance, f-stop, exposure, etc.), the combined image looks like it’s one shot.
