This location was really great!! It had a lot of pools of water everywhere making it a breeze to make great compositions. Only after approx 15min that a guard came up to me and told me I wasn't allowed to go to this location. He explained to me that there is a dam near by and usually when they open it up they do not advise anyone. In a matter of seconds the whole place could be flooded leaving me 200 feet below in really bad condition if I am lucky. Too bad because the possibilities of shots are that location was endless. But still glad I jumped that fence to capture a few :)

Huh, I am glad you escaped:-) but how is it possible that they don't put warning signs...?
It's a great view, with an excellent composition of yours: I love those leaves in the foreground, the beautiful dark tones of the water and those clouds reflecting in it. Great clarity, colours so natural, makes one feel there...

Superb work! The stillness of this scene is so strong that when I see it I almost want to hold my breath. Fantastic colour and those swirling clouds always add a lot to any landscape. I'm glad you jumped the fence too - sometimes you just have to do it to get something like this. Excellent work!

I like the near-far composition of this one, the two leaves in the foreground really makes it. And the clouds are another plus.

Hello Pat, this has to be one of the most stunning and clear natural images I've seen in the Canada folder in a long time! Great mix of water, land and sky in such perfect light.

Just cannot take my eyes off it.......simply beautiful and a very fitting title indeed. From the leaves in the foreground to the sky in the background it is a heck of a composition, excellent colors and clarity. Very nice.
