Urban landscapes: the surprise of spring snow

SKYLINE AND PRINCE’S ISLAND POND, CALGARY, ALBERTA

Ah, March. It can bring all manner of weather to this western Canadian city. I wasn’t complaining about this snowfall, though, since it left ponds open to photogenic reflections like this in Prince’s Island, a 20-hectare oasis squeezed between the downtown core and Bow River. Nikon D90, tripod, polarizing filter.
