Black Lake Variations

I'm still working on the theme of reflections.

Here: two views : same scene.

This first pastel - a warm and sunny,late summer day.

As this was the scene from my campsite,

I had the opportunity to sit comfortably

( for the afternoon)

 and study the changing light and wind.

Clouds and breezes came and went.

Black Lake Summer Day

Then briefly....

 a moment in time...

when the puffy clouds 

were gliding across the sky 

and the water, clear, flat and glossy.

Black Lake Dawn

This second example: a photo...

same scene: early morning.

Again fleeting brief

and on reflection

(excuse the pun)

the photo said it all

no need to get out the pastels!
