Cook's Bay/ Sky Watch

A quiet moment, Keswick, Ontario at sunset

Everybody should have his personal sounds to listen for - sounds that will make him exhilerated and alive or quiet and calm.

I don't believe one can be truly mature till they can be quiet with themselves.

This shot is so well framed - or maybe you call that cropped in photo language. Anyhow, it is great.

I never think of Canada as having high humidity but most of my visits have been to BC and the Rockies of Alberta.

I like shots against the sun with dark objects, makes you appreciate some structures, like that grass, more.
