Natural landscapes: the start of winter?

MARMOT CREEK, KANANASKIS COUNTRY, ALBERTA

I visited this creek, which includes three gorgeous waterfalls, in early November when temperatures were cold enough to start the ice formations that will eventually envelope most of the creek.
I really liked this mix of water and ice and went with a long exposure to make the creek silky and provide a contrast to the jagged ice edges. There was almost no colour in this scene, so it was a no-brainer to go monotone and heighten the drama.
