Urban landscapes: the beauty of a setting moon

APPROACHING DAWN AT CARBURN PARK, CALGARY, ALBERTA

This 135-hecatare urban park, created in 1986, features two man-made ponds, plenty of forest, pathways and deer that are so used to people that, during this trip, a trio wandered past me barely six feet away.
Carburn is one of the most beautiful parks in Calgary and always has great photo opportunities. On this occasion, I visited before dawn on a full-moon day – providing yet more photo possibilities. In this case, I needed a 30-second exposure to properly record the scene.
