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.
No, it's not a typo, I simply named this one "S" due to the curve of snow in the foreground. I went to Lake Winnipeg, Canada to get some photos of the ice shapes and patterns that occur during the spring thaw. But, as you can see, I was too early and the lake was still completely frozen. I decided to stay and look for something interesting to photograph. I was able to use an ultra wide angle lens and a low viewing angle to add some interest in the foreground; and the nice sunset definitely helped.
