The ax-edged peak is Mount Rundle. The photo was taken from a path
running very close to the Bow River about a 20 minute walk from the
centre of Banff. My wife and I have worn out many pairs of shoes and
boots in this immediate area!

Thank you John! And thanks for the name of the river too. (Is that
pronounced "boh" or "bough"?)
My recollection is that the photo was made fairly close to the highway. I
used a 80-200/4 (err, another camera brand, sorry) in an effort to get a
bit of the lake/water without too much of the road you see in the lower left.
Mount Rundle I found very hard to capture. I have not done it justice,
though I like any picture of it. I suppose it's all scree and mud up
there, but it looks like a notched ax cocked to the side, and it looks good
from miles coming on in either direction.
