What a splendid moment...



Recent fires up-island have smogged up the air and made for some really cool shots of the sun - If I had gotten there sometime before this shot, I would have had some. This was the last of the sun I could capture before it faded, not behind the horizon, but into the thick smog.

I was not alone; it seems the deck where I took the picture for my post: "Quack!", was quite a popular place for photographers who were also trying to shoot the sun. So the only thing I can say about this picture is that the red casts a slight ominous layer on the lake.

Now, if you look closely, you and see what looks like popler, from trees, or cotton. I thought it was some product of group of trees somewhere alongside the lake. Here is a better picture:

So after a brief chat with some photographers, I stumbled upon something quite interesting; this dock usually has something interesting to capture. In this case, it was a bear:


Still, at this moment, the only significance to anything I had placed on this bear was the randomnity of it. I took some pictures, smiled, and pointed the "Drowning Bear" to the others on the deck. One then said, "Yeah, there's bear shit everywhere."

Not as in "shit" shit, but the insides and organs, so to say, of a bear. The red sun over this lake, with two murdered bears (One drowned, one gutted and strewn across the lake) made it a very pleasant experience for me; I was highly satisfied, even after missing my chance to shoot the sun).

On my return the next day, to try my luck with the sun again, the victims were removed, as were any traces of them. All that I found on the deck was caution tape:



O.o
