I knew that this evening was going to be hectic, I didn't have room on the bike to bring my camera gear (I brought my Mac Book Pro into work), so I took my gear with me when I dropped the kids off to school. This was a bit of a whim, the park beside the falls. The last time I was here, I trudged through two to three feet of snow to get to the wall just beyond the end of this park bench to take a photo of the ice on or around the rocks in the background. Today there was no snow to be seen, the parking lot was open (eg: not covered in snow). I had numerous shots from this vantage point, most with the falls and the snow/ice that is almost framed in this shot. I nixed those shots because the composition wasn't right, turns out I needed to get a little lower to get the snow ice mounds, that looked like two scoops of vanilla ice cream, in frame. I might go back tomorrow and try again, we are fast approaching the day where there will be no ice or snow left to shoot, at least not for another 9 months or so. The lack of a working off-camera flash did hurt this a bit, I would have liked to expose for the lighter background & then light the bench in the foreground.
