Photo-Contest 2022 - Awards Ceremony

2023-05-06

Our traditional Awards Ceremony this time took place in Emily Murphy Park. The weather was excellent, and so were the humors of the participants.

Bald Hills in winter - by Boris Bokov

It was a bluebird day, and it turned out we called it a summer day. It was already 15 C in the morning. I thought the snow would turn into mush, and I knew we had already made a rookie mistake: we were too late. We should have started our climb at 6 AM and be back by noon or the latest, at 1 PM. We would have evaded high temperatures, hot sun, and wet and slushy snow. I even didn't think about avalanches, as I knew we would choose mellow slopes.

I also knew we would have fun. And we wouldn't need to worry about ticks and bears. It would be too much snow for both species :).

We departed for Maligne Lake at 9 AM and reached the Bald Hills trailhead at 10:25 AM. The drive was stunning. No clouds, blue skies, white peaks, and no cars made everything magical. I took quite a few photos and videos. Not recording it would be shameful; such beauty can only lift our spirits. Also, it was interesting to compare nature; 20 years ago, ten years ago, or at any given time, during which I was diligent in capturing the beauty.
