Reply to comment by notapunk in A sunset reflection near the town of Banff, Canada. [OC] [1600x2000] by 5impl3jack

Can you please explain like I'm from a climate that never sees snow? It looks like a river, a snowy river bank and some mountains to me. All of your comments make me think I'm missing something.

That's exactly what it is. For those of us that didn't see it right away? I'm not sure - probably something to do with the well defined horizon and saying there's a reflection maybe? Like I said, I don't know why exactly I didn't see it right away (and even less so for others), but that's my guess.

Ah, cool, ty! I thought maybe there was something that I was missing that only people who live in ice and snow would get lol

Right around the middle is the edge of a frozen lake and as you draw your eye down to the lower section that's all frozen lake, the background is standard mountains, the lower foreground is a rocky mouth of a super slow flowing river (why it hasn't frozen because it's moving) and a great reflection of the distant mountains.

I miss BC/AB so much. This postcard level stuff is just day to day up there. Amazing place, particularly in the winter. Great photo.
