Morant’s Curve gets its name from Nicholas Morant a photographer working for the Canadian Pacific Railway in the early to mid 20th century. He was hired by the railway to produce promotional material, but his extensive work in the Canadian Rockies was used to promote tourism to Western Canada. His images of Emerald Lake and Moraine Lake were used on two Canadian banknotes. However, it was reported that the curve was his favourite location to photograph and it draws photographers every day no matter the season or weather. Trains come from both the east and west and there is no schedule as only freight trains use this route so patience and perseverance are a necessity. Only on my third trip to this site was I able to capture a train winding its way around the Bow River.
