Snow in Lake Louise

---

Softly falling snow turned my eyes from the thus invisible panoramas of mountains and lakes to the natural sculptures of snow by wind. The green of the pines was so dark as to seem black. The light so subdued that white was blue. Human activity barely disturbed the silence muffling my ears.

What people were doing was building the whimsical Lake Louise ice castle, using water as mortar between the heavy translucent blocks of ice. Circling farther onto the hard lake were tourists, most stumbling bravely in their rented skates, a few spinning confidently across the imaginary rink cleared of snow.

Lake Louise is a magical place - especially in the winter. Thank you!

Snow and sand
I suspect that snow and sand present similar exposure problems. You've done a good job of capturing contrast and interesting shapes in a difficult setting, I'd say.
