Sarita Lake on Vancouver Island

Hey there dgrinners

Thought I would post an image of one of my favourite morning spots here on Vancouver Island.

Sarita Lake is a pretty little lake that you drive by on the nasty logging road to Bamfield on the West Coast of the Island.

Quite often its glassy calm at dawn and a nice place to take some morning landscapes.

The fishing can be quite good too!

As always, c&c most welcome, just be gentle :rofl

Beautiful shot. Love the symmetry and the fog in the picture!

Smoking shot, Brad. The low hanging fog and reflection is to die for.

Thanks everyone. One of the most important things I've learnt from my mentor, Sean Sherstone, is catching first light in the morning or the blue hour at night. Now It seems like all my good shots come in those 2 hours of the day.

This is wonderful Brad.

Funny thing, when I first opened the thread my browser window was small enough that I only saw part of the reflection, and I loved that initial view. You have two beautiful images here - one with the full reflection (obviously as you'd planned), and one with the bottom cut off before the sky returned. I like the photo both ways.
