I am a partial indigenous Canadian by birth and grew up in the bush. I have always had a strong relationship with the natural environment. I was in the Blue Waterholes and encountered this scene of someone having a quiet breakfast in the dawn light. It immediately resonated with me because of the many times I had done the same thing. It was as if I was there doing that and I could photograph myself doing it. What an impact!

Reg,

Thanks for sharing your nostalgic moment in time. Kinda begs the question though… did they know you were there? :wink: :face_with_peeking_eye:

Love the light, it’s beautiful throughout. And just the right amount of opening to see the fire burning. Hard to tell it’s a campfire, but I do pick up the sense like one is looking in on their neighbor. And hopefully they invited you over for some coffee.

Thanks for sharing!

PS. I edited your post to remove some html coding text that has erroneously showed up due to some software.

I love the light on the foliage and peaceful mood you have captured Reg.

Oh this is a really evocative scene - the campfire brings a really nice element. Smell is a sense memory driver and so I can almost smell the fire and the food. Brings a whole new idea to a scene like this. To my eye it’s a bit warm and the darks could use a nudge down just to keep it from being quite so flat. Warm white balance will do that as well as it squashes color separation quite a bit. Maybe a CCW rotation as well. I like the way the window to the scene is off to the left and we have those two trees to keep us in context. Glad you came across this one.
