The Weather...

 By this time, the weather had really deteriorated, and we headed back towards the car.  If you look carefully in the pine trees, you’ll notice a little blurring in the picture – that’s the snow falling!
We left Moraine Lake, traveling a few miles down one of the few twisting mountain roads.  While I was driving, I looked in the rear-view mirror – the contrast in the weather patterns was quite striking.  The two photos below were taken from the same place at the same time.  The left photo is looking west towards Moraine Lake (remember the snow falling?) while the right photo is looking east across the Bow River Valley, with the sunshine illuminating the trees and mountain side.
