PRINCE OF WALES HOTEL, WATERTON LAKES NATIONAL PARK, ALBERTA
I love visiting this western Canada park in the winter, because it’s basically empty. The town is mostly closed and it’s an eerie experience to drive down empty streets and visit the empty marina. That’s where I photographed this scene, allowing plenty of space for Upper Waterton Lake’s open water and interesting sky. The rustic, seven-floor Prince of Wales Hotel opened in 1927 and was declared a National Historic Site in 1992. Nikon D90, tripod, polarizing filter

Great composition…brilliant blue sky, filled with grey clouds and contrasting dark [cold?] water bringing to the imagination warmer summer days where the marina would be filled with boats. The background is probably green and lush highlighting the hotel during the summer.
