Thanks for the comment! :-) The vehicle was a Ford Escape. Luckily in Alberta the snow is very dry and powdery. We drove slow and steady and inly stopped when some mountain goats crossed the road in front of us.

Location
This was taken at the edge of Maligne Lake near Jasper. Alberta, Canada. The lake sits 30+km from the main road and we had experienced a snowfall of about 24" so the road in was almost impassableTime
Taken about noon. Temperature was -35°CLighting

I used a very cheap cellphone (HTC Wildfire S). Shot handheldInspiration
The view was wonderful. The small snow covered pines reminded me of soldiers guarding the scenery.Editing

Because it was so cold, we had no intention of standing out in the wind taking photos, so we had no "real" camera with us. Normally I would have my Nikon D80 and a couple of lenses (70mm-300mm, 105mm)Feedback
