Natural landscapes: when winter comes to autumn

SEPTEMBER SNOW AT CASCADE POND, BANFF NATIONAL PARK, ALBERTA

Lots of people would be aghast at seeing snow this early, but I was delighted because it created all kinds of serene and stunning scenes like this. The wet snow stayed on the trees and the open water created excellent reflections. There was barely any colour in this landscape, so it was a no-brainer to heighten the drama by going black-and-white.
