    Very nice, Brad. I appreciate the wide perspective you have provided. Most folks tend to condense the scene too much. I like the broader look you've chosen.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks Tom.

    The Granite Dells can suck you into the close up perspectives. Some are pretty cool looking. I was looking for the wide view for a print that folks can see most of the lake.

    Thanks.

    We were shooting there for hours in earlier, harsher light, waiting for sun to drop and clouds to cooperate. Once the clouds got some color it all came together. The cool thing on the second image is the orange light on the water coming from the hole in the clouds above. The sun was setting to the left and this view is looking North. I thought is was cool how that hole in the clouds shot down the colors from higher up in the could deck.

    Gotta love nature.

    Thanks for pointing the hole out Brad. I just noticed it and even more appreciative of how gorgeous this is!

    The first one is stunning! Great perspective and the light is just right to bring out the colors. Well done!
