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.
Snowshoeing out at Petrie Island just before the snow squal hit. I was loving how the sunshine just before sunset during the golden hour was lighting up the fast moving clouds.
