This is a small cascade in autumn in Gatineau Park, Quebec, Canada. There is a short hike with a wooden bridge going across the falls, but if you leave the trail and keep walking up the hillside there are many sets of cascades like this.
This shot was taken after sunset at Sunwapta Falls, on the Icefields highway, from Banff to Jasper, Alberta. There was a bad storm while I was driving along the highway, one of the most nerve racking drives of my life; slippery roads, poor visibility, and any visibility involved catching glimpses of sheer drops from the mountain road. I passed a sign on the road, facing the other direction, when I was nearing Jasper; I looked back and it said the road was closed due to a blizzard!
All I can remember from this night of shooting is how cold and windy it was. It was a test of my will to stay out there, even with a toque and gloves; my fingers hurt when I tried bending them back in the car.
