Weekly Photo Challenge: SUN
A protective hand shades our eyes and we squint as the SUN blinds us with it’s pure, white light. That’s what we usually think of when we think of the SUN.
But there’s a time near the end of the day when the SUN is close to the horizon. It radiates softer rays of light with a beautiful golden glow that intensifies colours and casts it’s warmth to whatever it touches.
Our campsite beside Lake Opeongo in Algonquin Park, Ontario was in a perfect location to benefit from this occurrence. Just before sunset the light would naturally saturate the landscape with beautiful reds, oranges and yellows.
Beautiful. I really enjoy the “WOW!” moments of nature.
So do I.
Lovely picture
great work

This post inspires me to go camping soon . Hopefully soon while it’s still Spring. Summer can get really hot in Texas. Beautiful photo. The sunlight made the trees glow…so, is our hearts. Thank you. I wish you all the wonderful blessings in life…
Spring is a little cold to camp in Ontario although I used to go every year in May. It even snowed on me once! Thank you for your kind words.

The tent is drawfed by those giant sticks!
Great site. Great shot.
Yes, sometimes we’re insignificant compared to our natural environment.
It looks warm.
As warm as Northern Ontario can get!
On a cold day like today, that picture looks very warm
I’m not sure where your’re at but it’s colder than usual here in Toronto as well.
good article, thanks for sharing and fantastic fotoshot
Our first canoe trip started on Lake Opeongo in 1975, we continued our canoe trips in Algonquin every summer until recently. It is a beautiful wilderness. This photo is taking me back to the warm summer nights in silent awe of the beauty of the world.
My husband also made it a yearly trip until he met me. Lake Opeongo was my first introduction to canoeing. From there it was yearly trips to Killarney. Have you been?
Great photo.
Beautiful picture. Thanks for sharing it.
