Hudson River school, large group of American landscape painters of several generations who worked between about 1825 and 1870. The name, applied retrospectively, refers to a similarity of intent rather than to a geographic location, though many of the older members of the group drew inspiration from the picturesque Catskill region north of New York City, through which the Hudson River flows. An outgrowth of the Romantic movement, the Hudson River school was the first native school of painting in the United States; it was strongly nationalistic both in its proud celebration of the natural beauty of the American landscape
Shot at an elevation nearing 10,000 feet in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, a series of images by Eric Gross capture a high-alpine lake covered in icy ridges and dips that mimic sleek waves. The Colorado-based photographer tells Colossal that local experts believe the phenomenon is caused by snowdrifts blowing onto the already frozen lake, melting there, and then refreezing. “Through multiple melt/freeze cycles and after periods of high winds, the mounds and divots are shaped into deep curves, sometimes with sharp ridges and lines that give the appearance of regular lake waves, frozen in time,” Gross says.

The chilly morning temperatures caused fog to rise over the relatively warm waters of the lake while the very first sunlight of the day lit up high cirrus clouds. These precursor clouds signalize the distant cyclone system coming in from the Pacific ocean bringing clouds and rain for several days to the Canadian Rockies. These mountains are geologically built up by alternating layers of limestone and shale that sedimented on an ancient ocean floor 245 to 363 million years ago. Compression of these once flat lying layers of 1300 m thickness each caused the sediments to break into huge slabs that tilted upwards into a system of repeating limestone and shale pattern. Each rock exposed to the surface is attacked by the erosive forces of weathering. The shale layer is a soft rock compared to the limestone. Hence glaciers, precipitation, frost and wind easily eroded the shale into deep valleys leaving the resistant tilted limestone behind as the Canadian Rocky Mountains we see today. These steep cliffs of Mt. Rundle were formed during the ice age by carving of glaciers and later by cutting of the Bow river. These sun rays lighting up the sky, reflecting in the lake and on the mountains in the morning quietude really was a moment to remember.

Craigellachie, British Columbia, located near Eagle Pass in the Rocky Mountains, is where Donald Smith, on November 7, 1885, drove the symbolic "last spike" in a ceremony marking the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The CPR company was incorporated in 1881 to construct a transcontinental railway connecting British Columbia with the rest of Canada upon the province’s entry into Confederation. It was four years of dangerous work and controversies, with thousands of workers, including 15,000 temporary Chinese labourers, laying ties and rails, hammering spikes and exploding pathways through the mountains. The result of this hard labour was a country joined by transportation and enhanced communication—thanks to greater ease of mail delivery and telegraph lines that were built along the railway—and moving steadily into the twentieth century.

Le Canadien Pacifique a été constitué en personne morale en 1881 dans le but de construire une voie ferrée transcontinentale reliant la Colombie-Britannique et le reste du Canada, conformément à l'entente conclue lors de l’entrée de la province dans la Confédération. Il faudra quatre années de controverses et de dangereux travaux, exécutés par des milliers de travailleurs, dont 15 000 ouvriers chinois temporaires, pour poser des rails, planter des crampons et creuser, à coup d’explosifs, des passages dans les montagnes. Grâce à leur dur labeur, nous avons hérité d’un pays relié par une route et par un meilleur réseau de communication – puisque la livraison du courrier s’est trouvée facilitée et que des lignes télégraphiques ont été construites le long de la voie ferrée – et nous sommes entrés, de pied ferme, dans le vingtième siècle.
