He, he, I don't live in the Rockies at the BC/Alberta border :) But I do know how to drive! :-P If I lived there, I'd have at least 58 ribbons, yeah!!!!

Medicine Lake, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies. Medicine Lake is not too far from Jasper, on the north end of Jasper National Park, on the road to Maligne Lake. It's an interesting lake because it has a very large underground drainage system. At the time I was there, this side of the lake had water, but further down the lake there were a lot of areas with no water, more like running channels, and lots of animal tracks in the sandy soil. It was quite cold though, but beautiful.

It seems that overlays can be used quite effectively to make images look scary. This one gives me a bad feeling, I don't like being trapped, and this one give that feeling back well - which makes for a good image, but a bad feeling. :)

PS - just thought of something. The face looks almost too beautiful though, too "clean", especially with lipstick/eye makeup just so. I think to make the image even more of a story, have the face somehow grungier, dirtier, more scared.
