I couldn't resist posting just one more shot of this snow drift. It reminds me of the folds on a wedding gown...

I have been waiting since May for snow to return to Snowdrift Mtn. This was taken before the new snow this evening.
I am anxious to go shoot the new snow soon

You don't see snow on a beach everyday - not even in Norway. But on this day, there were plenty of fresh snow covering the beach. I wanted to make use of the beautiful shapes on the snowdrifts and the grass sticking out of the snow. This is looking in the opposite direction towards the mountains. I was hoping for a bit more colorful sunrise but had to settle with a subtle red glow on the clouds.

Deciding what layers to wear out when you set off can sometimes be a bit of a dilemma, but in this case, with the wind blowing so hard and the snow being drifted along with it I decided pretty quickly that I would at least wear my fleece under the shell jacket. It was going to be cold!
Leaving the hut and venturing into the elements I was once again excited at the prospect of escaping but at the same time I felt pretty sad to be leaving Bruce. After experiencing the past few days together with the highs and lows, walking off the mountain without him just didn't seem right. But that was how it was to be.
We stepped out into the wind and my decision to wear the fleece was well founded. It was cold and the ground somewhat icy. The snow was being blown up forming dunes of snowdrift over the icy base. But as we dropped down off the ridge toward the glacier it surprised me to feel the snow becoming softer.
Reaching the glacier itself it soon became apparent that the weather here was vastly different to that near the hut. Only a matter of a few hundred metres away down and off the ridge line and the wind had all but ceased. Looking up to the hut and the nearby peaks I could still see the wind whipping up the snow but here it was still and warm!
That decision to wear the fleece was soon overturned and we all stopped to slip into something a little more comfortable! This was a promising start.

Another of my favorite mountains.
The snow is melting way too fast. With the name Snowdrift there should be snow on it year round.
If conditions are right there would be Balsamroot flowers in the foreground. I think the snow will be gone before they bloom .Forecasts doesn't Look good for clouds the rest of the week.

The CNRR M338 manifest train breaking a small drift at Moose Range Rd on the Freeport sub on a blustery windy day in January. The first train fo the day, a Westbound M337 made a huge explosion. That train met this EB at the Colvin Park siding, and in only one hour, there was enough snow to make a nice drift busting shot. Unfortunately the ideal position to shoot this was to the right in a small cut, on the railroad right of way. There was no way to shoot it from off the right of way, I held on to this shot feeling it was a failure, but it works for the first near 90F day of the year.

Avec plus de 200 jours de vent par an en moyenne, le Ventoux est le pré carré d'Éole en France. Ses bises incessantes se posent sans relâche sur les pentes du Géant depuis l'Antiquité. Lorsque la neige pointe le bout de son nez, elle est immédiatement sculptée par la fougue des embrassades du Régisseur, pour notre plus grand bonheur...
