Description:

At the Cave and Basin location in Banff, Alberta, there are some natural hot springs that are one of the historical attractions of this area of the Canadian West in the early days of the westward expansion of the railroad. The hot springs flow all year round. In the winter, warm water vapor rises from the flow and coats the trees and everything else nearby with fantastic & intricately detailed frost. Here, a pair of converging / diverging heavy tree branches looked to me like the outline of a dragon's head, complete with a blast of frosty breath from its nostrils. In a winter wonderland, there is a lot for the imagination to play with!
