A wintery path wandered by a curious wind ahead of adventurers steps

About this image

Here is a scenic shot taken on the many steps that lead to the halls of High Horthgar among the soft warm light of the morning, a curious wind seeming to want to lead the way as adventurers steps crunched in the snow, a few shimmering snowflakes drifting along on its swirling journey between snowy pine trees. 

I made it back home from my drive across Canada yesterday, my dad and me drove 8000km in about seven and a half days, having seen plains and rolling hills, snow topped mountains, the rocky shores of one of the great lakes and forests of pine and aspen. Visited my Brother in the Rockies where he is working for a heli-skying company after having taken a mountaineering course, was nice to see him. We encountered some treacherous winter conditions on they way back, the effects of the great lake leading to conditions that changed very often, fog, heavy snowfall and rain. Was quite an adventure though it is nice to be back in the comfort of home after all the driving. 

I am going to try to do some writing for the next chapter of Edrelle's tale, will be away on the 28th to visit some family in Montreal so I am not sure when the tale chapter will be ready.

    Just stunning Alexi dear. I bet it mirrors some of the sights you must have seen on your epic drive. I would give my left arm to see Canada...

      Puts a big smile on my face that you find it stunning. Does reflect some of the snow topped mountains I saw in the Rockies, with layers of rock in interesting formations, pines blanketed in snow perched on steep slopes, epic does describe the drive well ^^ I certainly recommend one see some of the sights in the wilds of Canada, hope you get a chance to see the country someday

      Thank you very much, Aok, those steps do look to be a little treacherous
      The weather did not make that an easy thing, happy to be back. Was a long drive but the sights along the way were worth it

    Love the clear light in this shot - the sense of the steep climb on the snow covered rocky path and the sense of space on the right shot of the image, partially obscured by clouds and wind blown snow.

    Seems to be like you had your own little adventure driving home - been in that weather myself all to often and can be a little stressful when driving in it. Glad you made it home as safe as Edrelle and her friends do on their own adventures. Enjoy your trip to Montreal as well!

      Was the light made take a shot of that spot - good to hear that there is that sense of the steep climb and of open space to the shot, that snow drifting off the mountainside, did fiddle around a little choosing a perspective for it.

      Indeed, I think adventure is a word that fits that journey back - driving in those conditions was a little harrowing at times but we made it through them. Thanks, Jonathan, I am equally glad to have made it home safe as Edrelle and friends after an adventure. Thanks, should have a nice time in Montreal

      That mountain path was lovely in the early morning sun, glad you find I captured some of its beauty, Nataly ^^ Kind of you to say so, was a journey with its exciting moments and some nice time spent with my brother. Rest assured that despite the gloomy weather I am still in a merry mood
