midnight, Wolverine River

I was going to say this is a superb, minimalist sunset shot and then I noticed the title.  Now I'll say it's a superb night shot.  Beautifully captured and presented.  The small house adds excellent scale... Mike

Night shots in colour are so hard to get right, at least i find them so. i always want the blue cast to be more representative of night, but without going black and white that can almost never be so. I knew this what a night shot before I saw the title, and think it is really well done. Evocative. I had thought however, that this was early morning, as it looks like first light in the lower left horizon! Great shot, thanks.

Thank you for your comments. The location may have fooled you a little bit. The Wolverine is in northern Manitoba and the sun never really went down in August. Twilight was about as dark as it got. Dawn would have probably been somewhere in the NNE.

This image was one of many thunderstorm shots I attempted that night. Unfortunately the lightning did not cooperate - but I ended up with dozens of beautiful cloud shots. This is one of them.

Wonderful blue in perfect light.  The image is tack sharp and the sky's three dimensionality really comes across.  I can feel the billowing folded clouds and the night chill.  You have also captured the green in the land and bush in the water at left or at least it appears this way - nice touch. This looks like Newfoundland at the entrance of a "tickle,"  the term Newfoundlanders use for the entrance to a bay.  Superb image.  Larry

Christopher,   Ah, Northern Manitoba.  Lovely, again.  Yes, I see the blue time of night lingers on here.   Larry

Larry, you were pretty close, environment-wise. The Wolverine comes down a few rapids from Nejanilini Lake and enters Little Duck Lake near the little hut in the background.
