Winter Lake Sunset

Description


There was a bit of a breeze over the lake during sunset, so I “snugged” the canoe into some reeds to hold it in place and settled in to watch the show. As it turned out, the undulating cloud reflections on the water amidst the reeds was almost as much fun watching as the sunset. And it seemed to make a very nice foreground.

Quote of the Day: “Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.” ~Buddha
