Miniature mountain range

It wasn’t so long ago in the Great White North (aka Canada, not the 51st state, not now, not ever) that we were covered with snow.

And on this particular evening, brutal, bone-chilling winds had further shaped the alien landscape.

The sun had already set, leaving fast-fading light under deepening cloud cover. So I shifted my focus to the surreal sight of a hip-deep snowbank doing its best mountain range impression, perhaps with a little tilt-shift optics thrown in for good measure.

This wasn’t the plan when I set out that day with my camera. The original mission was to capture the sunset. But photography - and indeed, life - is what happens when you’re busy making plans. And somewhere along the way, G-d is probably having a good laugh.
