Reflections of the northern lights over Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada. The big dipper can be seen near the upper right side. Funny story: There was a strange wailing/barking sound directed at me while I was there. It was pitch black and I thought it might be someone's dog and hoped I wouldn't get attacked. I could tell it was on the beach with me. Then it did it again and it was so strange I thought "that can't be a dog, what the heck is it?" I could see a pair of eyes in the flashlight beam but that was it. After the next wailing noise I checked again and found that it was a red tailed fox! It went about its business and was probably just used to having the beach to himself.
A friend and I were racing against the clock to find a nice subject to photograph with the sunset. We saw this lone tree in a field and liked the way the branch framed the setting sun. We got to it with just enough time to set up and get a few shots before the sun was gone. This was taken in the farmland around St. Francis Xavier, just east of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
A scene of nature reclaiming its dominion over a man-made intruder. In slow motion. This takes "going green" to a whole new level.
