At an elevation of 12,972 feet, Mount Robson is the highest peak
in the Canadian Rockies.
The Secwepemc were the first inhabitants of this area and they called the mountain
Yexyexescen which means striped rock.
It is also known as the Mountain of the Spiral Road
This is a technique i love using sometimes instead of a brush or a palette knife
Back in the late '70's i used to listen to Gordon Lightfoot when I was a school boy in India.
I learnt so much about Canada from the song Canadian Railroad Trilogy
that I wanted to go and see the Canadian Rockies.
Never in my wildest dream did I imagine that it would happen.
While driving the winding roads of the Canadian rockies, you see lots of mountains, and lakes.
And you take a turn, and all of a sudden, you see this majestic peak ahead of you!
The experience is so exhilarating that you stop by the side of the road,
And enjoy the breathtaking view of Mount Robson!
