Today, 5th January 2008, I went on an outing to the Sibbald, Exshaw, Canmore and Harvie Heights areas in the mountains. There wasn't much snow to be seen until we got further into the mountains. This photo was taken at Barrier Lake. It was windy and cold - looked quite bleak, and the mist was rising and blowing from the frozen lake in the distance. I so rarely get to go to the mountains, so always appreciate any chance that I do get, at any time of year.
