Calm, Cool Morning

Pre sunrise at a northern Saskatchewan lake. Maybe not a very interesting picture, but I kept it for the color and the memory of walking along the shore at sunrise. :smile:

Great entry! Calm, cool, and still.
Very peaceful and a keeper for sure.

Very nice. The colour is amazing! I also like how the clouds peter out just as the tree line gives some detail to the horizon. The fog is the icing on the cake. Certainly more than enough to make an interesting image in my opinion.

Darn right it's interesting--if it weren't for gorgeous sunrises/sets like this these galleries would be pretty dull places. :smile:

I'd keep it to. Who says good photos have to be full of "interesting" objects! I like the comp being mostly the placid lake in the foreground with just enough sky to show off the sunset color. :wavey:

No drama here just peace, and a world awakening. If there were no peaceful contemplative moments, I think we'd all burn out like cheap strings of firecrackers on the fourth of July. It may not be interesting but it is absorbing, calming and contemplative, good choice to take the image Dan it has obviously connected with others the same way it did with you and after all that's the whole point of making images anyway right?
