Really nice shots Mado, the first is excellent. Do you have any larch in your area? I love the kootenays, I wish it wasn't such a long drive away.

These are larch and alder trees. They turned brillant shades of yel
lows and golds. It is as far as you want it to be. Mado

The first is super. Did you ask the guy in the boat to wear a yellow top, same colour as the trees?

Thank you for your comments everybody. I was driving when I saw the guy on the lake. I just decided to stop and photograph him. I dont know the guy. I had a few shots. He was looking at me. I was just so happy to see what he was wearing! Photographie is also luck! Mado

Excellent images. I really like the inclusion of the boaters.

Mado,
I like both of these....especially the first. It's interesting how much more color there is in the reflection than in the trees themselves.
In the second (IMO), the houseboat might look better if it were more sideways to the camera (floating on a windless day....it may not have happened). That way the boat wouldn't have been so foreshortened in the photograph.
