"SOUND of MUSIC" and or "WINTER PARADISE" would be an appropriate title to this thawing river at Elbow Falls Trail.

This area is the home of the GRIZZLY BEAR, ELK, COUGAR
and the most beautiful park for us, HUMANS.

This water is so clean, so clean, that the American Dipper, "WATER OUZEL", calls it his home. It nests in crevices of the rock cliffs. It lives here all year round. Imposing canyon walls enclose this river called the Elbow River.

This tumbling water has a "turquoise" tint to it.

This whole area is a "WINTER WONDERLAND" or like a lot of folk here call it a "WINTER PARADISE".

It starts in the Rocky Mountains, flows through Bragg Creek, then into the Calgary Reservoir. ( We drink this CLEAN, CLEAN water.) Its overflow winds into the BOW RIVER.

Great fishing. However, CATCH & RELEASE ONLY.

Please see workshop to see further details of its "flow" & its regular beat & tumbles causing an exquisite sound which we here call the "SOUND of MUSIC".

Hello Aires,
Excellent capture and note.POV,sharpness,clear details and composition are wonderful.
TFS...:-)

It is hard to witness what greed and overpopulation can do to our natural wonders.

You chose a great composition here, Aires. One can almost "hear" the music. The translucent turquoise is quite lovely.

Una espectacular serie de imágenes Mario con gran belleza y excelentes notas ilustrativas.
De esta imagen me encanta la composición y el punto de vista y de las otras dos, la posibilidad de ver panorámicamente ese imponente sitio.
Gracias y un gran saludo... Ricardo

Of this image I love the composition and the point of view and of the other two, the possibility to see that imposing place panoramically.
Thank you and best regards... Ricardo

Hello Mario,
This is a very good capture of coldness!!
Waterfall is well framed, and the composition is dynamic...
Good natural winter colours, sharp fine details!

Hi Mario,
What a stunning photo, or should I say photos. All three of them are beautiful. It is interesting to see the water comming from both directions crashing into each other and down. The snow and ice really adds to the spectacular scenery. You even got the water frozen with the fast shutter speed.
TFS,
Niek

Hi friend,

Hi Aires,

Greetings, Nel

Hi Mario!
This mix of running water and still ice is a perfest composition of a stream. Sparkling white as captured by the 1/250 shutter is a real image of winter.
Greetings from cold Bulgaria!

Hi Aires.
Your picture is really art work. Very creative idea and skilful execution. Very nice exposure and contrast, point of view and details, lights and shadow. Great reflection the cold. Superb job. TFS and best regards.

Hi Mario
I love the ice formation here at Elbow Falls. It's so cold looking but beautiful. The ice, water and snow have such interesting patterns and colours.
TFS Janice

Very nice capture of Nature at its best. Very well composed and great POV. Light a bit hot top right corner but snow on a sunny day is very difficult to shoot. You captured the beauty very well.

I guess I'm caught up on your winter scenes for now. :)
This is so delightfully composed. The point of view is great...bet it was cold too! :)
You have so many wonderful photos!!!!! WOW!

Pure beauty, winter is strange formations for sure! Hope you are fine!

Hello Mario!
As for me the title is great for this picture! "Sound of music" make by waterfall - I could not imagine better :)
Nice idea for composition and good final effect. Maybe only some white reflections in NE corner are not necessary, but this is a details only :)
All the best from Lodz!
Radomir

PS. I'll be back :)
