Landscape Elk Island a few shots

Elk Island a few shots · 07:51 AM

Fall arrived around 2:20 pm on Sunday 22Sep13. On this joyous occasion I headed out to Elk Island in the early evening for a few shots. It's nice now that the sun sets around 07:20 pm instead of 10:20 pm allows me to get out there

Really like the first one Dave. Beautiful location. JIM

Dramatically beautiful shot that first one. But the last one is also intriguing. It almost looks like a sudden acceleration caused the sun to crash somewhere.

Nice pictures

What type of lens were you using?

**crewl1** · 09-24-2013, 04:15 PM

Great shots Dave.

**Bruce Clark** · 09-24-2013, 05:05 PM

Nice series with great cloud formations especially the black & white

**jva59** · 09-24-2013, 05:27 PM

Breathtaking!

**southlander** · 09-24-2013, 05:29 PM

Very nice indeed, particularly #1 and 2. #3 could maybe have some of the dark foreground cropped away??

**Jacquot** · 09-24-2013, 05:45 PM

Nice! but there can't be Elk there...

Thanks Fries - I know I was packing up to leave and I noticed the pink and set up again for another few shots.

Thanks Jacquot - no Elk at the lake that evening but there are Elk in the park. They are usually very camera shy the buggers.
