@Eric
Have you ever took pictures of the Yosemite waterfall when they glow like lava?
With just the right conditions, the Horsetail Fall down El Capitan glows orange like molten fire.
It lasts only 2 weeks, near the end of february

Yes, a ton of locals go up there to shoot it. It's really cool but there are two main reasons I don't go, first is that the crowds and access during this time are almost insurmountable. The other is that there are very limited looks at it, so you're stuffed into one tiny area with a bunch of other photographers fighting for the same shot, like hundreds or thousands of them.

The other is once you get your photo it looks just like everyone elses and they flood all the normal channels with it. So while it's neat to look at I would never go through the effort for something everyone else is doing.

Been up and down this road scores of times, seen the "ELK" signs, never saw the elk before. Today, they all came out at once.

Does Huron get shoves? Winnebago gets impressive ones.

See, THAT is something I'd really need a drone to capture properly! . Yep, there's often many ridge lines as far as the eye can see in the winter where the tidal forces have pushed the ice to create all of these "mountain ranges"

Looking across the street at my Dad's place - a snowy February 2015 - Point Clark, Ontario.

(and, yes, the porch I'm shooting that from isn't actually curved - that's Apple's pan-o-vision

Do you play it?

Yes, have been playing off and on since I was 15.
