Jerry Clement > Silent Screams

This day found me hiking the Upper Kananaskis Lake shoreline under ominous clouds with a biting wind blowing out of the west. Winter had not let go of her grip on the landscape with snow flurries dancing crazily before the wind. Being the spring of the year, the very low water levels of Upper Kananskis Lake allowed me to hike across the northwest corner of the lake bottom. I was shocked and saddened to see the remains of what was once a living forest, but now their bleached stump like skeletons reminded me of a scene out of the 'Night of the Living Dead'. Once the initial shock wore off, and I had regained my composure, I shot this one and only photograph, as a sense of foreboding hung over me, not unlike standing in the section of a cemetery where the unwanted are buried.  As I hiked out of the lake bottom, I  thought that I could hear the sound of silent screams echoing across the desolate landscape. Since that day, there are times as I look across Upper Kananaskis Lake, that I hear the faint sound of screams surfacing from beneath the pristine waters where once stood a living forest.

Jerry Clement > 'The Beautiful Wood Duck' was awarded 1st Place in  'Flora and Fauna' at the 'Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival' for 2009. This award winning photograph was shot on a beautiful fall morning in October of 2008, when the early morning light just after sunrise was soft and wonderful. Considered by many to be the most beautiful of North American waterfowl, the wood duck is a perching duck that normally nests in cavities in trees.

Jerry Clement > Strategies - My other passion besides Photography is Fly-Fishing, and there is no better place for fly-fishing than along the Eastern Slopes of the Canadian Rockies. This photo finds me checking out the Grayling fishing in this tiny back country lake, located in Kananaskis Country of Southern Alberta.
