Good work, guys and gals!

Sunset on Gabbro.

I feel like I've wasted someones valuable time by posting that picture, especially after seeing the other ones on here. Nice work guys, those some pretty fan-freaking-tastic pictures.

I think the blends of colors in this one is one of the best I have ever taken... the reflections also are cool!!

Wish I was still there. Everyones' photos are making me really long to be on the lakes.

Wow there are some gorgeous shots here. I wish I was up there right now!

I don't think I can compete with the bright sunny red skies that others found.

But here is something different. It was clear to the west and the sun was going down. It was still raining pretty hard at our camp site...

There just isn't a better place on earth to get a good sunset! August, 2006 on Lake Saganagons

around the island to a camp set in four terraces cut out of
the hillside.for one guy it was ok and i got some nice sunset
photos..

Cool photo Traveler!

Yes, very nice. I remember seeing this one about a year ago. The boy in the photo is probably a few inches taller by now. You got my vote (if I had one).

Yea, that was two summers ago. Ethan was 5 in the picture, he was 7 this year and on his 3rd trip. Thanks, Traveler.

I really liked this sunrise through the trees, hope you do too.
