Boat Launch/ Sky Watch

Boat Launch on Cook's Bay, Keswick, Ontario

This is what one boat launch looked like a few minutes before I took the SOOC (straight out of the camera) shot I posted last Saturday. It was a long, varied and beautiful sunset. And the temperature was ideal too!

    It must have been a wonderful spot to be in with the perfect weather and all.

    Now that looks like a lake I'd like to spend the day on...or evening...

    A very satisfying photo. Makes me feel good!

    Re: Kids wearing helmet while biking...I'm not sure if there's a law or not. But, the Greenway is off the beaten track, and the only other traffic are joggers, walkers and a few bikers...and in spite of the fact it looks like she's by herself, we were close by...

    I would think most people would be pulling the boats from the lake. Then again, fishermen are a different breed.

    Beautiful shot. You know what the first thing that came into my mind when I saw that was tomatoes. Don't ask me why but the muted red seemed like tomato soup when made with milk not water. Yes I am weird. LOL
    Anyway it is a pretty spot to visit. MB

    Oh, you had to throw in the Ideal Temperature comment? It is still in the lower 90s during the day here and I must say... I am not pleased.

    The sunset is gorgeous!

    The photo is breathtaking! What a great capture!
