Aloft: Canadian Rockies Aerial Photography by Paul Zizka

There is a reason why the Canadian Rockies are some of the most photographed mountains in the world. Rugged peaks encircle glacier-fed lakes, rise up like protective walls around tree-filled valleys, and offer a stunning backdrop to open alpine meadows. They have been photographed from the valley bottoms, from the shores of famous lakes, and from the summits of prominent peaks. They are accessible by vehicle, boat, gondola, skis and hiking boots. But a lucky few have photographed the Rockies from the air.

Comprising one of the most comprehensive collections of aerial photos from the Canadian Rockies to date, Aloft will enhance the viewer's appreciation of this internationally renowned landscape and provide a unique perspective on mountains that are as grandiose from the skies as they are from their better-known vantage points.
