Thanks for voting, and remember: One image from September.

Sunrise on the Mighty Crow River

Here's mine....yep you guessed right! It is Lake Winnipeg, I shot it yesterday evening along with a pile of other stuff.

Hey can I help if I'm addicted to this place!

Stu, you manage to find some really amazing shots up there on Lake Winnepeg. I wished I could find some more instesting stuff here on the red river, but since it is only about 50 feet wide and full of mud, and dead trees, not much around there.

Keep em Coming.

If the truth be told Paul, the surrounding area where I grew up offers an extremely wide and diverse landscape. A landscape where the Shield country meets prarie and where river meets lake. It is truly a paradise for anyone who loves the great outdoors.

I am located a mere thirty minutes from downtown Winnipeg (whoopy). Less than an hour drive I'm in God's Country or Pre-Cambrian Shield country, which has the same terrain as where Steve lives over by Ely. Less than half an hour and I'm on the shores of Lake Winnipeg. The Red River meanders through massive Netley/Libau Marsh before entering into Lake Winnipeg. Netley as it is so often referred to is approximately one hundred square miles of wetlands. It's a great place to wander around in a boat or canoe or even a belly boat. Besides fish, it's also home to countless bird species from Bald & Golden eagles, countless shore bird species and a wide array of song birds. Another area of great interest is Oak Hammock Marsh. Fifteen minutes west and I'm in the largest migratory game bird refuge in western Canada where each year over a million geese pass through.

In a nutshell Paul, I considered myself spoiled when it pertains to fishing/hunting and photography, even though I don't hunt these days.

Dan asked me to repost my pic again because something happend to the other one. I am not sure if this is the same pic but it was taken during September on Lake Sallie in Becker County just south of Detroit Lakes.

Thanks Paul, that sure looks like the shot, nicely done!

[Royce Aardahl]

Popped this pic after hunting last night.

[Dbl]

[Royce Aardahl]

Thanks!

Suomi Sunrise.

For what it's worth. Looked great when I stopped to take some shots this morning, but lots of dynamic range (light) to work around. Much happening with frost, fog and sunrise all going on at the same time. Some serious blending here, as well as a power line being cloned out.

[Royce Aardahl]

That's purdy!

[Dbl]

Seriously nice shot!

[Steve Foss]

Ken. Wonderful. Surreal and dreamy and dark and very boreal Finnlander. The feel is "North of 60" (as in latitude). It belongs on someone's wall.

[Peachy]

all pics are great! Amazing what Mother Nature can provide for us!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Finn- that shot is nothing short of awesome!.. love it!

[finnbay]

Thanks all for the nice compliments. Wasn't sure how it would be received, because it took a fair amount of PP work. Steve, I'm going to assume the

is a positive, and not "a real bore Finnlander"!

beautiful Finnbay

Here is my sunset. Munson Lake.

f/22, 1/8, AP, 100 ISO,

[fishinchicks]

Snapped this about 10 minutes ago. My father in law is combining beans right outside our place. Rode the four wheeler out, so this was handheld. I was going for the silhouette effect.

I believe it was at 1/2500, 5.0, -1 exposure compensation, ISO 100.

[finnbay]

Excellent fishinchicks!

[yakfisher]

Nice shot Fishinchicks, I like it.

[Royce Aardahl]

Nice stuff all. I love sunset stuff!

[Dbl]

Beautiful shots! The lake reflection and the silhouette are just beautiful. Great work so far this month!

[mmeyer]

Beautiful Stuff everyone! I especially like the reflection and the combine shots.

Keep them coming!
