Show off your winter landscapes that you have captured this year

Thanks very much Damian and Erno. Yes, that's Mt. Rundle. The drive would be more like 1.5 hours from Calgary, but fortunately I started in Canmore so it was only 30 minutes away. Sunrise around the winter solstice is not until 8:45, so it's a very easy wake-up call.


Thinking of the thread, "The Story Behind the Shot", here's a wild story that goes with this photo: I nearly missed getting this shot, because I had to stop on the highway when I came across a pickup truck that was on fire. Actually, it was the cargo that was burning, and the cargo happened to be a load of wrapped Christmas presents (!). I have no idea what could have sparked the fire. I called 911 while the owners were frantically throwing burning presents out of the truck into the snow. Fortunately, they got the fire out, and everyone was okay, but the presents were a write-off. I then carried on to the lake, quickly composed this view, and had only about 5 minutes left to get the shot.


By the way Damian, your profile is great. Love it!
