Wow, what a way to come back from my recent trip to the BW. I'm honored to have been picked, there are certainly some outstanding photos in this thread.

Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate very well last week for photo's but we had a great time none the less. We did survive thursday nights down pour without a single wet tent...

Thanks Again!!
trailrider 09/10/2007 08:28PM
hey hoho...try right clicking on all the full pics and putting them in your "my pictures" slideshow
Ho Ho 09/09/2007 07:33PM
Hey, Adam, any chance you guys can put together a slide show of all the pictures from August, they were really great. A slide show of every month's entries would be nice -- it would be fun to got through them all full sized.
mr.barley 09/08/2007 07:05PM
So Adam, what's the September theme?

mikeemerson, yes my picture was from the same place. Nice campsite, we usually see otters there.
brain250 08/16/2007 06:44AM
Wow. Awesome photos. It took me a while to decide which sunset shot to submit, but I decided to share this 70's-esque pic that I snapped last June on Ester Lake.

As much as I like the way it turned out, it reminded me of disco-era romantic art, so for Christmas last year, I super-imposed some cheesy lyrics from our wedding song over the image and mounted it with gloss to a slice of tree stump.

The plan was to turn it into a clock, but I thought that might take it a step too far.
mikeemerson 08/15/2007 11:45PM
Moosegut, I think the photo I just posted is taken from the very same campsite on Iron Lake. Is it the one with the very large rock that backs the fire grate? I love your view!

Back at ya , Buz. The color in your photos is remarkable, and I love how that color is reflected in the water on the ground. It's truly amazing what colors a sunset can produce.
buz 08/10/2007 01:58PM
Uncle moose, that is an outstanding photo
buz 08/10/2007 01:53PM
Not from BWCA, but was with boy scout canoe trip in French River Provincial park 7-14-22 in Ontario. Canoed out to far NW corner of the Georgian bay. After a long day into the wind, camped at the finger board islands and took this shot(s) 7 19. A reward for the long day. Within 15 minutes every color in the blue/red/purple spectrum. All 9 of us mesmerized. Hard to do with 14 year olds.

See my journal for other examples.

Saganaga Sunrise

This was taken from the dock at Superior North Outfitters on Saganaga Lake in May, 2004. Needless to say, this was taken before the Ham Lake Fire.

The combination of light, fog and still water was breathtaking.
