A Peaceful Evening

This post is not exactly Christmasy,but in a way it may be.The photos show an evening of peace and tranquility and I believe that Christmas and the birth of Christ are peaceful.
Welcome to December,even as I take you back to the middle of October.



As I have mentioned before the lake located just west of my town,Lake Minniwasta,is one of my favourite places to go for sunset photos,or most any photos.
The following pictures were all taken on a beautiful evening around the middle of October.

I had gone to the lake to see if by chance the sunset would be a photogenic one.Well,I was in for a surprise.Not only was the sunset gorgeous,but the time leading up to it was filled with amazing beauty.

The water of the lake was as smooth as glass and that resulted in gorgeous reflections.

The low angle of the setting sun,cast a golden light on the surrounding trees and grasses.

I found myself turning from east to west to try to capture all the beauty.

I had to keep on shooting as the color and the beauty was all around me.

Even the stones at the water's edge looked lovely.

I spent far more time at the lake that night than I had planned on and took far more pictures than I had expected to take. It was a refreshing time to be a witness to such beauty and calmness.
