Autumn Interplay of Blue & Gold (Explore # 1 March 3rd 2014)

            Here is another shot from the autumn 2012 archives, a gorgeous magic hour shot of intense autumn trees reflecting in a gorgeous deep blue pond along the Bow River.

As with so many shots from Fish Creek Provincial Park before summer 2013, this is one I will never, ever be able to duplicate because this area was basically completely destroyed due to flooding.

You can still walk out somewhat close to here, but the topography has been entirely altered and there is still silt, rocks, and various flood debris / wreckage everywhere.

How sad!

However, at least I was able to capture these memories with my camera!

As for my sickness, I am still pretty sick, but definitely improved from the weekend, which is good, as I have a very busy week!

So hopefully in a day or two I will be back to normal!

All the best in this new week, my friends!

Wow!

I am so honoured!

I just found out that this photo got Explored at # 1 on March 3rd 2014!

My very first ever first place Explore!

Thanks so much, everyone who helped it get there!
