Weekly Photo Challenge: CONTRAST

I’m a sucker for sunsets.
What I like about them is the CONTRAST that happens between colour and light. As the sun descends on the horizon you never know how it will end. You never know what you’ll capture on camera.
This picture was taken on a backcountry canoe trip in the wilderness of Philip Edward Island on Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada. The trip almost didn’t happen as the weather forecast called for unsettled weather. Undaunted, we drove 5 hours through the rain and got a window of opportunity. It stopped raining. Paddling through gnarly waves under a foreboding sky we made camp across from Rattle Island. During the afternoon the clouds moved away, the winds completely died and we were treated to an unbelievable scene of calm and tranquility.


Indeed it’s a scene of calmness and peace. Beautiful sunset that soothes the soul. Amazing play of shapes, colors and shaddows. Have a fun weekend.
You too!
Beautiful shot! Many thanks for giving me a ‘Like’ on my blog!
The thing that really struck me in your photo was the circular heli pad in the middle of natural setting.

I’m a sucker for sunsets too. If I could wake up early enough, I would be a sucker for sunrise. LOL
I’ve been told that in Waikiki Beach, if you get there at the right moment, you can see a green flash before the sun fully sets. I’ve never seen that one before, but it’s on my “before I die” bucket list.
Wow, I’ve never heard of that! I’d love to see that too.
what a great photo!! i love it!!
Lovely!
Beautiful shot. Stunning colours!
