A marvellous January 2’nd out on the St. Lawrence River that has yet to freeze over. There is however sheets of ice that must be avoided when canoeing as it could cause damage hitting it and even flip us. 15 km/ hr west wind created moderate waves no more a foot high with moderate current directed east downstream. It was a marvellous winter sunset at 4:28 PM. Below a view from the side of the canoe...

It’s big, well structured, symmetrical, solid, run by family members and perfectly maintained...the canoe I’m referring to!
It was grey and raining all day yesterday. We decided to take a drive out to Elk Island National Park to break up the afternoon. Even though it was too cold and wet to hike, we did stop at Astotin Lake were I found all of these colorful canoes and kayaks stored away waiting for people to rent them out.
Lake Mouraine in Banff, Canada is a beautiful park the main attraction of which are the beautiful mountains and lake.
Off the coast of California, a single-man outrigger canoer is in training.

Width is extremely narrow averaging between 15 to 17 inces and fully rigged it’s weight is 23 to 34 lbs including the float bar and connecting arms.
My Mum can't walk that far these days, so when she came over to see JJ and me last Monday, we surprised her by ordering a taxi and taking her for lunch at the Canoe Lake, near our seafront!

I can quite confidently say that I have never laid my eyes on a scene as picturesque and photogenic as Emerald Lake in the Yoho National Park, in Alberta Canada!
Could you imagine waking up in a place this gorgeous? I know I could! I was absolutely thrilled that I was to be spending two nights at this lodge... in a five-star room with an amazing view of the lake! I was in Landscape Photographer's Heaven!!
I arrived at the lodge well after dark (11pm)... so I didn't really have a chance to scout around for compositions to shoot at sunrise the next morning. However, these canoes caught my eyes while I was lugging my luggage across the bridge in the dim light of darkness... so I made a mental note to check them out as soon as the dawn arrived the next morning.
I was perched on the edge of the wooden deck with my camera on it's tripod (attached to my new panoramic tripod head) well before dawn... I grabbed some shots before the other guys (and gals) in the group arrived... and then I moved on looking to see if I could find any other promising locations. Then, when the light was turning really nice shortly after sunrise... I moved my camera back to my sweet spot on the boathouse deck... and shot this seven (portrait) image panorama. I knew that I'd timed the moment just right as soon as I looked at the images on the camera's LCD... oh my... what a great way to start the day!!
I managed to get loads of other great shots at Emerald Lake that day... but this will probably turn out to be my favourite.
