Rays Reflected on Ripples



or
Remnants of the Storm


Above is the setting sun's rays reflected and shimmering on the ripples of Lake Champlain. I spent a weekend there last Spring and during the time I was there, a large thunderstorm passed over the lake just before sunset. The remnants of that storm left the most spectacular skies! And I happened to be in the right place at the right time! The only thing that could have made it even more perfect is if I could have caught a photo of Champy (think the Loch Ness Monster's first cousin) as well. Maybe next time!

    Oh My Gosh! This is unbelievable! Your picture is stunning and is one of those jaw-dropping, leaves me speechless photos! WOW!! I'm not surprised you were asked to do the into to ABC Wednesday! Congrats on this fabulous sunset photo and for being asked to write the intro!!

    Glad the Loch Ness Monster or Champy weren't in the photo though! But, if you do happen to catch a glimpse of them, I'd love to see that photo too!! (lol....)

    I'll have a copy of this photo double matted and framed in a dark mahogany frame. In case you're wondering what to get me for Christmas.

    Annie: That is a neat photo with the reflection across the bay.

    We get lake effect snow from Lake Erie so you may not get our snow.

    You're right -- that is a constant of nature that storms usually leave gorgeous skies! This is a beautiful photo of Lake Superior's big brother. Thanks for sharing!

    Pretty! Pretty! Except that at first glance I thought the title was Rays Reflected on Nipples and had to click over to see what the heck THAT was about!

    I must commend you on being able to not tell us what MPM's tattoo is. It takes a strong woman to not tell!
