Geeez, you post twice as many photos ( fav. ONE ) and neither of them are from the Boundary Waters. I guess we can let it slide this time.....haha. Beautiful shots! Thanks for sharing! If you could only choose one of those which one would it be?

Good point, it would be the second one Rainbow Lakes, there are actually two Lakes there, they are smaller, about an hour's paddle around both of them. They are landlocked with a 1/4 mile portage into them from my car.
I was the only one on either Lake that nite.
A shot of my campsite, complete with a bear box. This is the only one developed campsite on these two lakes.

That is one serious picnic table. Do they allow motors on those lakes?"
Yes they do, it's Chugach NF. But ive never seen one on the Lakes, they are small and the 1/4 mile portage makes it difficult to get a motor in.

I like this photo of a couple from Boulder Colorado that I took on Saganaga in early October the best.
I thought they looked interesting so I approached and asked to photograph them as I sat in my canoe.
I like how the canoe leads the eye to them and how they are looking in opposite directions surveying their surroundings. The color of their clothing and faded canoe really works in my opinion.
I had a long conversation with them and found out they've led very interesting lives. I enjoy connecting with people as much as photographing scenery these days. I sent them the photo and a few others and they used one in their Holiday letter and yearly adventure recap.

I wonder if that canoe was red? Their packs look like from the same era too. Very cool pic.

You can see the paddles in this photo. They did a lot of racing and whitewater.
The canoe was originally a cinnamon color. "
Everything has a place and everyplace for a thing...in that canoe.

On Cummings Lake, looking out from our campsite at what my fiancé dubbed Fishtail Bay.
"Cotton Candy Clouds" we named them! It was BEAUTIFUL for my first trip out there, and I can't wait for many more!"
Nice picture! Welcome to the Message Board!
