Natural landscapes: a swim at dawn

GRICE BAY, PACIFIC RIM NATIONAL PARK, BRITISH COLUMBIA

This park, on the west coast of Canada’s Vancouver Island, is awash in glorious photo opportunities. This is one of the inland bays and a great spot to capture dawn. Especially when a pair of waterfowl glide through the scene. I just waited ’til they reached the most pleasing location in the scene, then made the photo.
Nikon D7100, tripod, enhancing filter.

A wonderful mellow photo–love the curvy lines–and a beautiful moment on Vancouver Island.

A beautiful, peaceful scene. I love the soft light and tones and the perfect reflection…and the ducks are a nice touch! 🙂
