Natural landscapes: the beautiful approach of ice

BOULDER FALLS,
KANANASKIS, ALBERTA
I arrived in this mountain region of western Canada in November, before it was encased in ice and snow. Love the mix of epic ice and flowing water.
A long exposure ensured a silky water flow, nicely contrasting with the sharp ice edges.
There was almost no colour in this scene, so it was an easy decision to create a black-and-white version that heightens the drama.
