From the setting sun's point of view

[lavendertook]

Here's the view walking south along the western bank of Greenbelt Lake, looking eastward as the sun heads towards the horizon. On a windy day, this stretch picks up nice breezes and scents off the lake with an ocean flavor. The water mallows and passion flowers that grow along the bank here come to full bloom in August and September, and I'll show you some pics I took of those as the winter deepens. On the down side, you can hear a fairly constant buzz of traffic from the intersection of the interstate and the parkway nearby.


The golden hues are turning to a deeper orange now as the sun lowers.


The trees and sky form an inkblot pattern with their reflections in the water. I will post a really interesting looking one tomorrow.

Good thing all that water is there to put out the flames! ;-)

The reflections are awesome.

Simply stunning! The water itself almost seems on fire.

Those are just splendiferous.

What colours! Reflected the beauty is raised exponentially.

It's just doubling them! We need baking soda.

Aren't they? You can keep your eyes fixed on the water and still see the whole show.

Thank you! (-: It put on quite a good show that day.

I wanted to get out earlier to catch more of that afternoon, but the closing show is still always the best. (-:
