Wikipedia "Landscape photography is intended to show different spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Photographs typically capture the presence of nature and are often free of man-made obstructions. Landscape photographers often attempt to document the space as well as convey an appreciation of the scenery"

First solo on Sawbill.

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

The fog was so thick that you could hardly see that lake that morning. I waited for the sun to burn some off to capture this photo. Fraser has such clear water it is crazy.

Somewhere between Skoop and Sawbill Lake in 2010. I had lots of wide open scenes that may have been better choices but this one is my desktop background right now. It appeals to me with its "closeness" and bringing the wilderness in and around me. I also love the greens which are in short supply now as I look out my window.

Great set of landscape photos this month! In general I think it's difficult to capture true landscapes in the BWCA because of the forest limiting the depth, but I think there are some excellant entries this month.
