As an unusually mild February flowed into a mild March, the mornings around Vermilion Lakes yielded some lovely colours. A minute after taking this shot, the skies turned grey for the day. Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada via 500px http://ift.tt/1BGVwSI

Ice and Fire by CNaene

Frozen Abraham lake in the morning at sunrise. For me, the stacks of ice bubbles here are very artistic and interesting. However, to stay still on the tiled ice was quite hard because it was so slippery! Anyways, that morning was one of the most memorable experience of my life because it was the coldest morning ever!

The Big One by ryanwunsch

Large shelf cloud in Saskatchewan. I had flown home from work early and was on route from Saskatoon to Leader. I knew there was a storm in Alberta, I checked the radar but thought I'd miss it. That changed about an hour later, the storms had formed a squall line. I could see it approaching, and drove off the highway to find something in the foreground. This Canola field had to do. Taken 30 kms East of Kindersley Saskatchewan, at 8:40 pm, July 17 2014. The next day I read reports of 137 km/h winds and quite a bit of damage. via 500px http://500px.com/photo/93876397

Fall - Rocky Mountains by shuchun

Lake O'Hara is one of my favourite hiking area in the Canadian Rockies. The best season is mid-September when the larch trees turn gold. However, you must be really luck to be able to get there as access to Lake O'Hara area is highly restricted, one will need make a reservation at least 6 month ahead. via 500px http://ift.tt/1zmpmdG

From the Mists by JustinGrimm

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but as a landscape photographer I have created a "bucket list" of rare shots I dream of capturing. This is not a list of specific exotic locations I wish to shoot though. Instead, it is a list of rare combinations of light, weather conditions, and natural formations that I am constantly on the lookout for. This misty hoar frost scene taken from the beautiful Bow Lake of the Canadian Rockies is the first time I've managed to witness one of these very specific combination of elements. Because of that, it is probably my favourite image I've ever captured. Justin Grimm Photography Buy a Print Many things needed to come together for conditions like this to occur, and if you are lucky they may happen for a few days, or most likely only hours over the course of a year. An extremely cold weather front pushed it's way through the mountains early this winter season, before the lakes had managed to freeze over. If this cold front brought snow, the incredibly detailed and fragile hoar frost would have been hidden. If the lake had been frozen over, the mist from the open warmer water would not have added the much needed humidity in the air needed for the frost to form. Without a break of the clouds and fog, the light wouldn't have hit the peak or foreground. If I wasn't out at an epic mountainous location, well then this wouldn't be one of my bucket list shots! A lot of things needed to happen, you get the picture. What made this morning even sweeter is that it was spent with two of the most talented photographers and friends I know, Erin Babnik and Ted Gore, on the last day of their short trip up to my Canadian stomping grounds. Being from the warmer areas of the US, and not having the extra layer of natural back-bacon insulation on their bodies, meant they were a tad bit colder then I was on this -25/-30 celsius morning. Even with my shoulder dipped in ice water, my snow-pants crusted with a layer of ice, and my damn toe warmers failing to heat up, I was distracted enough to barely even notice anything outside of my viewfinder. I shot and composed images continuously for the 3 hours we spent out here, and managed to capture this fleeting moment when the peak stood out from the heavy mists. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and that I could accurately convey this magical combination of conditions through my image. Thanks for looking! via 500px http://ift.tt/1wyHOP7
