Great shot. Something about it makes me think of "The Birds" black and white movie.

Congrats on the blue ribbon!

I spent some time in Alberta from November to February in 2003. I have to agree that it would be a bad idea to move a brand new home in Alberta in the winter. In contrast I was surprised to see clear skies and dry roads considering the location and time of year. I seem to remember it being gray and what seemed to be daily accumulations of snow fall. Being from Pennsylvania and having mild winters in comparison is enough to know that a clear day equates to nasty cross winds, then add -40 temperatures and you have a natural disaster all it's own! Some folks who never experienced such conditions wouldn't even be able to imagine what this is.

Great shot and I'm glad you added the sepia tones or I might get a chill from looking at this image!

That is just insane. If my house weren't brick, I'd try that too! And grats on the ribbon :-)

Now that is something you don't see everyday! It was very perceptive of you to see the relevance and the scene to the challenge. Well done. Congrats on the blue.

Cool photo, but would like to see a "leap"....not a mental leap of faith
