Medicine Lake in Smoke

I had an opportunity to spend a couple of days in Jasper/Banff this past week and was hesitant at first to take a run out to Medicine Lake. I decided that I should go and all along the road to the lake I'm looking out the window and the brown haze in the air. Forest fires in British Columbia are burning and the natural jet stream is pulling this smoke into Alberta and on thru the country. I believe the smoke has made its way to the east coast at this point. I took almost 200 images at the lake and had to check about every third or fourth shot to make sure my camera was ok. I would take a shot of a pine tree close to me to make sure it was the right colour. On this particular image all I did was add a little sharpening and a slight saturation adjustment. The colour that you see is the colour in the atmosphere at the time. It was as amazing as it was sureal to say the least.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a look.

As always your thoughts and comments are welcome and appreciated.
