The clear mountain waters of the Bow River in Banff National Park glimmer under the morning sun. 

The geometric shapes on the smooth river stones caused by the movement of the shallow water are mesmerizing to observe, and result in a scene full of vibrant detail.

The light dancing through the water creates the most wonderful patterns on the differently shaped and colourd riverbed stones, making them appear as multi faceted crystals. As you say, the effect is quite mesmerizing and I could look at this for a long time and not tire of it. What an amazing large print it would make to adorn an appropriate room - with your wonderful eye, I'm sure you would place it well! Beautifully done, Dean.

Incredible patterns and, as you say, mesmerizing designs. Gems indeed- a wonderful shot that tweaks the imagination.

Taking a photo of seemingly mundane - and making it into a beautiful piece of artwork. Well seen.
