Today’s theme – travel, environment
When I entered the Rocky Mountain National Park, the temperature was -17°C. The wind was howling and ferocious, and I presume that the ‘real feel‘ would have been close to -30°C or even less. I just couldn’t stand those insanely freezing temperatures with the gloves off my hands (at times, I felt like I was being sprayed with liquid Nitrogen!!), as I had to grip my camera from slipping, and of course for a decent shot at the Road Ahead!!
You can see the wind fanning the powdery ice that’s skimming the surface of the road..

Brrrr!!! Quite chilly – from the looks of it.
Oooh, I know that feeling when it's so cold that to take your gloves off to take a photo makes them numb even while you're trying to press the button on your camera. Brilliant blue sky!
Yeah! instant numbness!!
I've a Canon camera, and it's known for its rich blues. You may want to check out the other pics in the category 'Themed PoD' to see how Canon treats blue color – esp the sky blue tones..
