Peyto Lake in Banff National Park is one of the most photographed lakes in Canada. Ben Girardi was there before anyone else.
Dawn in winter — the lake half frozen, that glacial turquoise holding its color against the pink and amber sky, snow-covered rocks in the foreground, the valley opening into the distance below. The kind of light that lasts twenty minutes and rewards the people who got up for it.
Girardi doesn't chase the dramatic moment — he waits for the quiet one. This is both.
Every Distant Dawn print is professionally produced and custom framed, arriving ready to hang. This fine art landscape photography print is printed on premium archival photo paper, built to hold the extraordinary color range of that Banff morning — from glacial blue to dawn pink — on your wall.

Printing & Framing
At Distant Dawn, we take great care to produce a quality product. Every photograph is printed and framed in the USA.
We use archival luster photo paper mounted on an archival substrate that is protected by a sheet of 99% UV-blocking acrylic to resist fading. Our frames are solid wood and arrive ready to hang.
You're investing in photographs built to last – work worthy of your walls for decades to come.
