Water, Ice and Rocks in Fish Creek Park in Calgary on Christmas Day

It was a very nice day in Calgary on Christmas Day (about +7C) so we went for a walk in Fish Creek Park which runs through the south part of the city. The sun was low in the sky and it made for some beautiful colours.

I like the lighting in most of these, especially given the angle of the shot in the first few.

 

I love that yellow grass with the blue shade.

 

i like how the light hits the lifting ice in #2

 

I'm really liking #1, 6, and 7...Great lighting.

 

some really neat shots in there of natural ice formations... i tried some similar shots last year but didn't get many shots to turn out how I had hoped... poor light I guess. :thumbup:

 

Nice series. #3 is my favorite.

 

I wish we had some snow here in Ohio... Nice images by the way

 

Thanks to all for the comments.

I do not profess to understand the complexities of the climate and if global warming is real but we too have been warm for the most part for a few years. It was +7C on Christmas day and most of the first week of Jan will be near or above the freezing point. I am not a fan of real cold weather but it seems that things really have warmed up.

I am glad we have the Rockies just to the west of us and they are still gettting their share of snow.

 

I like your photose very much =)

 

Lovely shots!!
I love Fish creek, we are very fortunate to have such pristine land within the city.
