Natural landscapes: the pools of autumn

PONDS ALONG BLAKISTON CREEK,
WATERTON LAKES NATIONAL PARK, ALBERTA
I wanted to go beyond the usual fall calendar-style photos showing gigantic swaths of colour and, often, not much else. This one fit the bill for me, even though I know it won’t be all that popular.
I was intrigued by the series of pools near the creek and the group of leaves in this one made me stop and make a photo. I like that there’s something of interest in every part of this composition.
