Description
A few minutes before this solo canoeist had slowly made his way across a thick bank of fog on Pog Lake in Algonquin Park, Ontario. I watched as he cautiously proceeded and eventually went through a narrows. I scrambled through the thick forest to see if I could catch a glimpse of him. This is what he and I both saw. The sun was burning off the mist in that section of lake. Rising wisps of golden fog twirled around him. This mesmerizing sight stopped both of us. He just sat still and "Took It All In". Thank you for viewing. Barbara McMahon

Thank you Louise! It was just after 6:00 am and quite a chill in the air but was so worth any discomfort to have been there. Many thanks!

Barbara - such a good feel to this wonderful pic that makes me feel misty-eyed all over.

Thank you Belinda for your lovely comment! I'm so glad you "felt" what I did when I witnessed this sight.

Any canoe in the morning mist looks good, but this one is amazing. I like the strong contrast between the dark and sharp canoe and the soft background.
