Natural landscapes: the fickleness of late winter

CHINOOK MELTING IN
WATERTON LAKES NATIONAL PARK,
ALBERTA
Chinooks – warm, blustery wind that blows in from the west – are quite common along the front ranges of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. In a matter of hours, chinooks can transform a wintery landscape into a warm and wet spring melt.
I liked the patterns created by this melt and spent considerable time working them into what I hope are interesting images like this.
