1712_1603 Dusk Along the Red Deer
Here's the valley of the Red Deer River, with its surrounding badlands and a nice dusting of snow. It was Christmas Eve. The sun had just dropped out of sight behind us; the air was still and cold. I thought the chances of a good shot were pretty slim, but set up the tripod at a lookout anyway.
I didn't last long. I'd spent the day driving from Val Marie (SK), with a lot of stops en route, I wasn't wearing my warmest clothing, and I knew a warm hotel room awaited me in Drumheller. Sometimes, though, working fast is the way to do it (the tripod doesn't slow me down that much). It was a great first look at the valley in winter.
