Rose Lake Sunset

From a recent trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. This is Rose lake, on the US-Canadian border. The land in the horizon is Canada; the foreground is Minnesota.

In spite of the great beauty of the place, the Boundary waters is a very difficult place to find good compositions. It's nothing but uber-thick, tangled forests and water.

Most sunsets and sunrises were cloudless and therefore uninteresting. This was the best light of the trip. I wish I could've found a more compelling focal point, but that's nature for you.

5DMarkII, 16mm, f/16, ISO 100, two exposures blended for dynamic range, one at .3 seconds, one at 1.3 seconds.
