Sulfur Mountain, from Banff – not taken in monochrome - I had to take a subsequent shot of @shepherdmanswife to show that my camera was not faulty.
That morning @shepherdmanswife said that she needed retail therapy. I needed to be out and about. We compromised, taking the gondola up Sulfur Mountain in the morning, and shopping afterwards. I would have happily walked up the well-marked trail, but @shepherdmanswife wouldn’t, and around here you don’t go into the woods on your own. At the top it was snowing heavily, and @shepherdmanswife and I loved it. We had seen lots of mountain views but this was our first Canadian blizzard!
We followed the boardwalk that twisted and turned into the fog and snow up to the summit, meeting a few people appearing out of the white-out, and from the various greetings exchanged it seems that it was the Brits and Ozzies who were the only ones to brave the elements. @shepherdmanswife’s father from Upstate New York had joined us, for a few days. He stayed in the restaurant, having spent $35 on a gondola ride just to buy himself a cup of average coffee and sit looking out at weather that he will be experiencing at home in three months’ time. He really couldn’t get his head around why we had ventured out for a walk in a blizzard, and apparently enjoyed it.
Of course by the time that we were shopping, the summit above the town was clear
That was some snow storm. We don't get enough at home in UK so it was a wonderful experience for us. Maybe you will put a photo of the actual blizzard on tomorrow? Fav
I'm pleased to follow that @shepherdmanswife keeps trail of your postings! I would like to say - too much contrast in this potentially dramatic photo! Hope I'm not being too critical?
It seems like you have timed your trip well to catch so many interesting weather caused shots. Amazing shot in b&w - not a converted b&w - just weather related. And then a blizzard on top - wow! Great day.
