Nature Big Hill Springs Provincial Park, Alberta

Big Hill Springs Provincial Park, Alberta · 06:28 PM

Here's a few form a trip out to the park...the ice formations and spring waterfalls were stunning.
Caught a sunrise from the top of the coulee:

Looking into the coulee:

Ice formations in the creek:

One of the several falls...thought I would try a BW treatment here:

Great work! My favorites are the B/W waterfall & looking into the coulee with the jet flying overhead.

Wonderful series...the ice shots were phenomenal!

Thanks so much...lol to get those ice shots, I had to lay supine on an ice shelf hanging over the water with my head hanging down into the little canyon...I was praying that the ice didn't give way or I would have gone in head first..camera and all!
Mind you wouldn't be the first time I've sacrificed my warm, dry self in the name of photography!! I've fallen in/through ice a few times this year already!

the sun reflection in #5 is really a good interesting point, though a little bit small

Thanks....the spot's actually from the flash...As I said, I was almost hanging into the creek on an overhang of ice to get that shot. There wasn't a lot of light in there to get a sunspot or handhold but using flash lit it right up and made everything clear. Not sure how I could have made it any bigger.....lol!
