East of the Sun a Collage of pictures

This was the year of the heavy forest fires across the lake when 200 homes were destroyed. For days on end smoke stayed in the valley and I took this picture of my son and daughter leaving the dock with the sun almost blocked out as it was setting in the west. The picture above shows how calm it can be at times on the lake and you can see the ink blot effect of the reflection of the mountains on the water. The winter scene is a favorite but I don,t use the cabin in the winter as it is winterized and boarded up to protect the door from the weather. The huge maple tree directly in front of the cabin provides wonderful shade in the hot days of summer and an amazing scene when the leaves turn to Red.
