I Was Walking for Many Kilometers, While Looking Around for Miles and Miles

I Was Walking for Many Kilometers, While Looking Around for Miles and Miles

I finally found what I was looking for, and it was all around.

The toils of life can get you down, but you just have to keep moving on and not stopping.

So as I surveyed the lake and reflections nearby, I was pleased to enjoy the view of mountains with blue skies and clouds above!

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning in Denali State Park while walking the Byers Lake Trail. This was a view looking to the northwest across the lake with its reflections to mountain peaks beyond. One can see a little bit of Denali, hidden in the clouds in the image midpoint a little left of center. Other than the peaceful, serene look to the setting, I just wanted to capture the view that I happened across on the far side of the lake. At this time in the late morning, the waters were quite still, except for the occasional salmon coming up to grab a bug or whatever.

 

I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.
