Natural landscapes: a beautiful opening in the ice

WINTER WATERFALL AT BIG HILL SPRINGS PROVINCIAL PARK, ALBERTA
A fragile back forced me to stick to photo locales with less walking distance, so I visited this western Canadian park to take advantage of a glorious round of hoarfrost.
The ice-encrusted opening in this waterfall grabbed my attention; I loved the icy frame for the flowing water, so I went for a long exposure to make the water soft against the sharp edges. There was almost no colour in this scene, so it was a no-brainer to create and show you a monotone version.
