Description


Mt. Lorette Ponds
Kananaskis, Alberta
CANADA

This Is Where Folks Stand/Sit And Can Fish.
The Dock Has A Ramp So
Almost Anyone Can Come And
Enjoy This Tranquil Spot.
It doesn't seem fair to fish here really
because you can actually
SEE THE FISH!

Thought I'd Have Some Fun Saturating!
(HA!)

I'll Include The Original And
A Sepia For The Old Time Look.

Colors are so Caribbean, Laura, but I'll just bet the water is not 98.6 degrees.... Looks like a Windows Wallpaper shot! #8692388

Irene Colling level-classic June 13, 2010

Great title for this tranquil scene. Sometime I'd like to see water as clear as you describe. Muddy/murkey water is the norm around here.

Enjoy yourself. #8692407
