 Thank you all for the kind words and the votes. They are much appreciated. This image is made less than 100 metres from where I live now, a place I truly love. The mountains are part of the Valhalla Range, the lake is Slocan. I get a big kick out of the fact that from my town, to get to Valhalla, you have to go by boat.

Thanks again!

Stupendous accomplishment. Wonderful image. Congrats. Highest non-expert score we've seen in a long time, I think. You'd have been over 8 if not for the last-day pair of low voters :-(

GORGEOUS. What splendid punctuation from the canoe silhouette. This is my favorite type of mountain shot. I truly feel the quiet of the morning and the mist
