Natural landscapes: Radiant Red

AUTUMN AT MEECH LAKE, GATINEAU PARK, QUEBEC

This glorious park, across the provincial border from Canada’s capital city (Ottawa), provides a cornucopia of images any time of year. I travelled there with the goal of photographing autumn colours and, as you can see, I hit the jackpot at this beautiful spot.
Ironically, the name ‘Meech Lake’ is etched in recent Canadian political history – a 1987 constitutional deal between the federal government and the 10 provinces was hammered out at a resort on this lake. The Meech Lake Accord was hugely controversial and ultimately failed. But the lake continues to impress the discerning eyes of nature lovers.

I was wondering where all the Autumn color was! Beautiful! Our color is very brownish/yellowish/goldish this year, all the vibrant colors have been missing these last two years 😦

  Thank you! Yes, autumn colours can be quite a gamble…some years amazing, other years surprisingly bland.
