The Canadian Weather Service has announced an extreme weather warning. This morning it is -35C with a -44C windchill. But it could be worse, we could live in Edmonton where it is much colder! As I am not walking outside in this extreme cold, I thought I would look at some pictures from earlier this month. This year I want to take more scenery pictures, so I wanted to look at those. These will be pictures that I haven't already posted. Sometimes the second look at my pictures finds the real gems. This picture was from Mallard Point on New Year's Day.

On January 3rd, Calgary weather became foggy and we had hoarfrost on our trees. At the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, the trees were particularly magical. I find this first picture very calming. The lack of definition in the sky due to the fog and cloud really simplifies the picture and your eye isn't drawn all over the place.

This second picture from the same day really highlights the hoarfrost and I think the path draws the eye into the picture and asks 'what adventure is around the corner?'.

The final picture is from the northwest side of the Sanctuary. The use of a telephoto lens and the angle of the picture makes the Calgary Tower seem almost as large as the other downtown buildings. Sometimes the Calgary Tower is hidden among the high rises and it is fun to highlight what once was Calgary's tallest building and a building about which the city was proud (The Husky Tower).

Looking forward to warmer weather and being outside!
