River of Ice



Some shots taken in late winter of the frozen Milk River as it winds its way through Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta.  It's a fantastic landscape full of unusual rock formations.




The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also known as the Áísínai'pi National Historic Site of Canada.  Any time of year is a good time to visit although the petroglyphs are only accessible in the summer months.


The kissing rocks.



The Milk River is very shallow in most spots.  In the summer months it's not unheard of to walk across the river without getting your bum wet.


The photos were taken from several different vantage points inside the park and along the park's northern perimeter.




The blue hill looming on the horizon line is part of the Sweet Grass Hills across the border in Montana.


Photographed on March 3, 2017.
