Natural landscapes: light in the black

SPRING CASCADE, SHEEP RIVER PROVINCIAL PARK, ALBERTA

I couldn’t find the name of this stream, which flows in to the Sheep River southwest of Calgary in this western Canadian province. But as you can see, that didn’t stop me from exploring it all the way from Highway 546 to the river.
I tried a high-contrast exposure and, intrigued by the results, I then under-exposed more pictures until achieving this dramatic mix of black, white and nothing else. Just to emphasize the look, I created a monotone version. Kinda different for me, eh?
