It's so nice to be able to sleep in (relatively speaking), and still have more than enough time to get out to capture blue hour before sunrise, and we fully prepared for the golden hour when it arrives. The ice was nice and thick this morning when I went for a hike out in Mer Bleue. I set the tripod down a little bit lower to be able to soften the bright morning sun, with the bullrushes.
I'm always looking for new and interesting locations around Ottawa to capture. This was taken just before sunset on a cool December evening looking away from the sunset to capture the alpen glow in the sky. I really liked how the ice was very thin around the bolder in the river, and how the ice disappeared towards the island allowing for some nice reflections from the bare trees on the island in the middle of the river.
