What a gorgeous and unique shot, Stan(s). Bergs and what appears to be unfrozen land. And of course those beautiful hues of sunset (assume your sun is partially horizontal these days, too?). Just a beautiful photo and fav.
Thank you, kindly, Jan ! This was taken this past September so the ground hasn’t frozen yet. If you step over that bit of grass, you land 150 -200 feet below; with any luck in the water. lol. It was blowing pretty hard and cold so I had the place to myself. :) By the time I took this, the sun was partly below the horizon. Can’t remember if there was some thin cloud cover or if it was peeking beneath it. My guess there was very thin cloud, enough to at least partly diffuse the light and knock down the contrast. I had to tweak it some, in pp, to bring out detail in the forground. The clouds, and the bit of colour just above the water, are what caught my eye in the viewfinder. Anyway, worth the wait, me thinks. :) BTW: we’re getting frosty here in the mornings. Had a bit of snow; enough to knock the power out for four or five days, depending on where you were. I was lucky. The town I’m in only had a few short outages; the only town on the penninsula that was that fortunant.
Well this is just amazing Stan…that’s my hometown!!! Beautiful area isn’t it…I have lived in Alberta now for 20 years but go back to visit every few years, I am going back in August for 3 weeks and plan on seeing a lot of the island…beautiful photo :)
Thanks again, Michelle. Never know, maybe the bergs will be late again, making for an extra special home coming. :)
