Lake Winnipeg by Larry Trupp

! Location: Taken just before dusk at Sunset Beach just south of Grand Beach on Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada. The island in the distance is called Bird Island…Looking due north, to the left where the water meets the sky, is approximately 416 km (258 mi) to the distant shore. Interesting Facts Lake Winnipeg is a very large (24,514 square kilometers (9,465 sq mi)) lake in central North America, in the province of Manitoba, Canada, about 55 kilometres (34 mi) north of the city of Winnipeg. It is the largest lake within the borders of southern Canada, and it is part of the most undeveloped and pristine large watershed of southern Canada. It is the sixth-largest freshwater lake in Canada, but it is relatively shallow (mean depth of 12 m (39 ft), excluding a narrow 36 m (118 ft) deep channel between the northern and southern basins. It is the eleventh-largest freshwater lake on Earth. The east side of the lake has pristine boreal forests and rivers that are being promoted as a potential United Nations World Heritage Park. The lake is elongated in shape and looking to the left here, is 416 km (258 mi) from north to south, with remote sandy beaches, large limestone cliffs, and many bat caves in some areas. Manitoba Hydro uses the lake as one of the largest reservoirs in the world. There are many islands in the lake and most are undeveloped and pristine Camera Details: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, 55mm Lens, Aperture exp 13.0, Shutter speed 1/400, ISO 200

Our world has many wonderful Rivers and Lakes, natural and man made, and this is the group to showcase your photos, drawings and paintings of these wonderful waterways, that have a Lake or Inland Waterway as the main focus with little or very little human intervention ie. nothing that removes our eyes from the main focal point of the image, that being the Body Of Water. Please do add the name of the river, lake or dam – this group represents bodies of water from all around the globe so it is always interesting to know where it is located!

DEFINITIONS.
A Lake can be natural or man made. The body of water held back by a dam construction is also known as a dam or reservoir. So the definition of Lake in this group includes the bodies of water that are “dams & reservoirs”.
An Inland Waterway in this group is a natural river or a man made waterway such as a canal, again with an artistic approach showing the water and not the surrounds, ie. buildings etc…
