Our Rivière Cap-Rouge

Early morning winds and blowing snow prevented us from driving out of town for a snowshoe near Lac Beauport. Instead, I headed down to the Cap-Rouge River that runs just below our house. Since I was alone I took the time to set up my tripod and compose a series of shots highlighting the trees loaded with sticky snow. I love this natural view of the river combined with urban elements of bridge and rustic split-rail fence.
I used a hot shoe bubble level (Manfrotto #337) to guarantee a straight horizon. Pentax K10D, focal length 45 mm, f/13, 1/20 sec, ISO 100
