Calm Fall Day on Lake Eaton

Posted by
Harry (Apex, NC, United States) on 30 March 2022 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This was a popular park, with nearly every campsite filled with a camper van, a pickup with a shell, or at least a tent. Many of them had little portable gasoline powered generators (which are pretty quiet), but still there was a constant buzzing. It was a bit after 5 pm, so the lake fun was ending and everyone was heading back for their cookouts. I spotted these boats grounded for at least the dinner hour, so I took this shot.

What calm indeed.
This lake is a real mirror.

So beautifully still and tranquil. Excellent composition and light Harry. The tree and boats frame the view of the lake very nicely. I also like the muted light and hints of autumn tones. Congratulations on the Spotlight!
