After capturing a few different versions of the sky during blue hour, it was time to hike back out. It was long after dark with no moon, so I needed to put on my headlamp. While I was hiking back out, I couldn't help but notice how the fresh snow was sparkling as my headlamp lit it up... Wonderful and Serene ...
I was battling all of the odds trying to capture this shot. My tripod leg broke off again after trying to fix it temporarily while I wait for a replacement part. But, determined as usual, I trekked on through the deep wind blown snowdrifts determined to get a couple of shots on this Sunday afternoon. The winds were strong and I was hoping for some shots of the snow blowing across the Ottawa river as the sun set with good sunset colours. I got lucky, with the sun just as it was hitting the horizon, the snowdrift in front of me lit up beautifully.
