Campbell Valley Park in Winter, Infrared

It has been a warm winter here so far but we wanted to have a wintery picture. What we have here appears to be a winter picture (and it is, but without snow) but it's actually one taken with an infrared camera. Green foliage that is still photosynthesizing appears as white, giving the illusion of snow. An overcast sky appears to be blue.

Photography notes:

Much of the light for this picture is infrared, although a little bit of visible light is also used (it's why the coniferous trees appear light green). Consequently the colours shown are artificial. To make it look like this, the red and blue colour channels in the original are swapped. The sky has been separately desaturated to improve its appearance. This is an overcast sky, in infrared a clear sky is very dark, see this photo.
