Natural landscapes: Frost on Vermillion Lakes
FROST ON VERMILLION LAKES, BANFF NATIONAL PARK, ALBERTA
The Vermillion Lakes offer amazing vistas of mountains around the town of Banff. Better still, parts of the lakes are fed by hot springs and stay ice-free in winter, allowing opportunities for pictures of frosty reeds.
I fished through the archives for this photograph, made during the 1990s on my old Pentax 6×7 medium format film camera using Velvia slide film. I had the slide scanned, then tweaked it using Photoshop.

As one of the rare people actually born in Banff, I say this a lovely photo!
