Sunset at Warners Bay / Lake Macquarie NSW Australia
I live in an area where cold fronts pass by on a weekly basis. Often this makes for quite dramatic skies. This shot was taken just before the front arrived at a spot called Rainbow Valley
Bar Beach part of the beautiful Sapphire Coast The Bega Valley Shire is located at the south-eastern extremity of New South Wales approximately half way between Sydney and Melbourne. / The Shire’s coastal fringe extends from Wallaga Lake (Bermagui) in the north to Cape Howe and the Victorian border in the south. / Collectively, this 106-kilometre section of coastline forms the beautiful Sapphire Coast. Inland, higher peaks of the Great Dividing Range give way to rolling hills, and numerous rivers and streams.

Nani-Ba-Zhu ~ Mother Earth [ Kanza ] Alaska Sunset Reflections Chena River Lakes One of my personal favourites from my collection: / Chi-Hoota-Wei ~ Many Fires, One Great Light ~ Alaska Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Sky reflections on Chena Lakes / Alaska North Star Titles and quote commentaries are Lodge names and translations of Order of the Arrow Insignia ~ Chi-Hoota-Wei ~ Many Fires, One Great Light ~ Links to websites with more information on First Nations ~ American Native Tribes I was captivated by the dreamy spherical look of the clouds and the beautiful soft pastel colours as they drifted across the sky on the horizon toward the sunset. ~ Chena River Lakes is a beautiful recreational Alaska State Park in the Tanana River Valley near North Pole Alaska. “Konza; or Kanza ~ The Kansa/Kaw Tribe, also known as “the wind people” The tribe originally lived along the lower Kansas River in villages consisting of conical-shaped lodges. The Kaw Tribe, formerly known as the Kansa (or Konza) at one time stretched over 20 million acres across northern Kansas into Nebraska and Missouri. In 1825, a treaty was signed by the Kanza Tribe in which the Tribe “agreed” to sell a large portion of its land base and relocated to a reservation near present day Topeka, Kansas. The Kansa lived a semi-nomadic life, depending primarily on buffalo hunting and some farming for their food. They obtained social prestige and honor only in combat, and their chiefs were chosen for bravery and wisdom. The culture of the Kansa was that of the Plains people of the central United States. Typical of the Plains culture area, adolescent boys underwent a puberty rite known as the vision quest-a period of isolation meant to invoke supernatural images. Religious beliefs were centered around spirits associated with nature. Highly developed burial customs were followed; the body was placed in a shallow grave with food, clothing, and other needs for the afterlife. By 1840 the lands of the Kansa had been acquired by the United States government and incorporated into the so-called Indian Territory, to which many Native Americans were being removed. In 1846, the Kaw numbering about 1,600, signed another treaty and moved southwestward near what is known today as Council Grove, Kansas Kanza ~ Kaw Nation Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. / Show respect to all people and grovel to none. / When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. / Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. / Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.” / quote by Chief Tecumseh, Shawnee Nation Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 29 August 2007 21:16:56 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/200 / Av( Aperture Value ) 9.0 / ISO Speed 400 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 28.0 mm

The lake is fed by the runoff from the Peyto Glacier (this glacier is part of the Wapta Icefield) which lies about 5 km to the south of the lake this gives the lake a magnificent blue colour in the summer months due to the mineral content. This is one of the most scenic places in the Rocky Mountains. At the summit of Bow Pass (2088 m.) on the Icefields Parkway is the path to the Peyto Lake overlook. From the parking lot you walk up for about 400 m. in a steep but easy paved trail to a lookout platform that provides a great view of the lake. If you travel the Icefield Parkway, you must not miss this viewpoint
