Winter Wonderland

At -30C everything is covered with hoarfrost turning the landscape into a winter wonderland. It is essential that you dress warmly, put on winter boots, and cover your face with a balaclava and your head with a toque before following me into the crisp, bright outdoors.

Saskatoon is a city of bridges creating and shaping movement over the South Saskatchewan River. These images were taken along the river.

The entire landscape is held frozen in time offering brilliant visions but cold and merciless if unheeded. Snow cleared trails invite you to explore the icy beauty of winter or rest in silence on a snow covered bench.

The azure blue sky contrasting with the pure whiteness of the snow takes away the breath (if the cold hasn't already done that)!
Crystalline beauty just waiting for the eye to behold.

Where cold air contacts the warmer river water condensation takes place and a fog or mist rises giving an sense of ethereal beauty and timelessness.

May you experience a beautiful New Year and be blessed in it!
