In the shadow of the mountain

Posted in Travel, Writing at 8:45 pm by Jeremiah Wittevrongel

As I was coming home from a trip to Banff today, I noticed a patch of snow on a hillside that hadn’t melted even though all of the snow around it had. The way the hill is situated, that patch of snow is nearly always in full shade during the winter.

And if the snow doesn’t melt in the shadow of the mountain, what other things might lurk there? Maybe some ancient evil remains. Maybe a trio of backpackers has some sort of encounter on the mountain.

I feel a story coming on.
