Photo of mountain ridge as viewed from shoreline of reflective lake. Reflection of ridge and puffy white clouds are seen in lake in foreground. This is part of the Gore Mountain Range north of Vail, Colorado. The lake is Piney Lake and is at the trailhead of Upper Piney Trail which I hiked last week to a series of cascading waterfalls. The falls are at the base of this ridge. I had a view of this ridge most of the way to the falls.

Photo taken at sunset while I was canoeing on a local lake several days ago. The front (bow) of the canoe is in the foreground. Green lily pads are immediately to the left. The flat calm water is glassy and reflective and extends to the horizon where green trees are seen lining the shore of the lake. Green trees are also on each side of photo framing the photo. Reflections of all trees as well as distant orange sunset are seen in the water.
