    Lovely! As I must ave told you before, I loved your Abraham Lake photos. What I like particularly about this photo is the use of space within frame. The rocks and the sky is just perfect to make a viewer puzzled… it creates a strong emotion. This is not a simple landscape, this is moody landscape!!!

    Congrats! And thank you for sharing this amazing photo!
