What you see here are Christmas and New Year wishes from scenes I took at Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada twelve years ago. This park is in Alberta, on the Montana border and part of the Glacier International Peace Park. The Alberta park is nearly abandoned in winter, all park residences are boarded up, and there was just one hotel open for cross-country skiers, and also open is the RCMP station. So the main road in Waterton was plowed, but access roads to the various other places and trails were closed, with the exception of the road halfway up to Cameron Lake - the rest of the way was for cross-county skiers to use.

The day in February 2007 when I took these photos, me and my family were the only people in the park! It looks romantic, but that day it was at least -20°C - but considering that we had at times -40°C, it felt like a balm day, lol.


So how "lonely" was Waterton village that day?
Here are a few more images:

Thank you - as it is now, I am a lone Bachelor in Vienna now, but in touch with my Canadian Family.

Amazing snow shots. We've had odd weather here in New England snow a few days, then warm Spring like weather now a cold snap AFTER the snow has gone, who can say what's next?

Here's hoping you have a wonderful Happy Christmas and an amazing New Year and here is to me trying to be more regular on here in 2020, goals, eh?

Thank you Donna - in Vienna where I am now it is unseasonably warm. Snow only in the mountains. The forecast calls for even warmer weather yet!

DIR AUCH MEIN LIEBER!!! ALLES GUTE :-)))
