Niagara Falls in the winter
Well the deep freeze broke yesterday and I needed to capture Niagara Falls before the temperature and the sun melted the spectacular ice away. Not a perfect sunny day but it was still very nice. Very few people at the falls and traffic to and from the falls was light. So perfect.

Moraine Lake
This is one of my most favourite lake in the Rockies. The ten peaks were covered in clouds from the rain earlier so it gave it a special feel. I got there early to find the lake like glass and when I left the wind picked up and the glass look was gone. Perfect timing.
