This is the boat rental at Yoho National Park's Emerald Lake. Some folks are just in the final preparations before embarking into canoe #15. One has to admit that strategically, the boat rental station could not be placed at a more inviting-looking spot - and the scenic rewards are great as I tried to show in my previous photo, 'Surrounded'.

Hi norbert

very good job
cheers
greg

Beautiful spot and a beautiful capture. I like the dark clouds, give the place a different mood than usual.Great job.

Hi Norbert,
Another excelent landscape view in your great recent Serie. All the boat numbers are to pick. Splendid colours, fine enquadrement of the boats at the left corner, and a fantastic scenery and atmosphere so well captured and framed.

Great work and composition. Congratulations.
Best to you.
Fernando

Bonjour Norbert,
Avec un canoé, il faut ramer ! l'inconvénient lorsque l'on rame, nous voyons le paysage à l'envers. N'étant pas un spécialiste pour conduire un canoé, je crains devoir m'échouer dans ce lac aux mille sapins. Je suis toujours impressionné par la beauté des lieux.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Nobert,
Whoooooooo !
Mais comment fais tu pour sortir de genre de composition tous les jours !
C’est incroyable le nombres de belle image qui dorment dans ton disque dur !
J’adore ici ce ciel menaçant, ces couleurs qui sonnent très juste et bien entendu ce merveilleux paysage !
J’adore
Merci pour le partage
Amicalement,
Sébastien

Wow un piqué d'image extraordinaire !
Une belle scène ... j'aime tout dans la composition... l'activité "nautique", le paysage et ce temps gris qui apporte une atmosphère particulière... sérénité et quiétude !
Bravo Norbert :o)

Welldone! This is a great landscape that you have captured. The reflections in the lake and the cloudy atmosphere are amazing. Strong colors - great composition. Bravo!

The same day ? it hard to believe ... the weather is grey ... how did you catch this impressive light on "Surrounded" ?
a good compo, more classic, but well balanced. Good POV and frame
regards, hugues

Hi Norbert
Cette image est la preuve que meme par temps gris, on peut faire d'excellentes images. magnifique composition

Hi Norbert,

Again a very good panaroma with people. Sharp and beautiful colors. I like your pictures critiques area, it's like a festival place, everyone is here :)

Sarhan.

Any number... I like the tittle. I agree with you Norbert, I dont think that I have ever seen a better spot for a canoe rental. Even if this was not a sunny day, the colors are nice in the photo.
Again a well composed shot.

Hi Norbert,
The same region but totally other picture, the three great parts its here present, water and boats on the foreground, it forest on hills and the splendid mountains against the cloudy sky, excellent composition.
Best regards,
John.

I pick number 8, my lucky number :)
must be a nice business renting boat at this marvelous place :D
as always very nice picture, Norbert
excellent clarity and sharpness, perfect control of composition

Again a great place, a very natural one.
The lights are just made to give a great value to the big mountains and wide areas..
Good and interesting foreground.

I think I need to get one of those grey filters you're using if it'll make my photos come out looking anywhere near as stunning as this!

This is easily the most inviting location I've seen on TE today. I wish I could be there too.

There's nothing else I can say. It's a technically perfect shot with stunning composition. Great work!

Again interesting to see this grand landscape setting. The number of canoes tells us something of its popularity. Nice compo Norbert - and with some 'help' from the grand nature around :-)

Guess you will find some moments in Glasgow also for some shots around..

Great composition, with the canoe wharf on one side and the lake opening up on the other side of the frame, leading your eye out in to the distance as you take an imaginary canoe trip. The trees on the right balance the mountain and forest on the left. Well done!

Hi Norbert,
Even without a blue sky this landscape is beautiful.Interesting to see the effect of the graduaded filter on a cloudy sky,-it works!Excellent compo with the boat rental in the foreground.
Greetings,
hermann

Hi Norbert,
Good composition with the peak at a strong point of the picture.
Nice feflexions and framing.

gr. jaap

come on, norbert, what am i to say to this? that its again crystal clear? excellent compo? etc. etc?
man, i envy you this trip to the mountain/lakes land of canada, it looks like a time of your photo life, my friend, and every picture reveals new, unspoilt beauty of that country; it is like an illustration of a dreamland description;
grad grey, again, hmmm, i missed so many opportunitie in that case;
best, j.

Another superb picture.
Very beautiful place.
Congratulations. Uğur

Hello Norbert;

Another stunning shot from Beautiful British Columbia. You keep this up mate, and you're going to be able to publish a coffee table book on the Canadian Rockies! Can I have an autographed copy?

Amazingly clear and crisp shot, with very natural colors- not overblown at all. The climate really conveys through the shot, I can almost feel the fresh cool air now...

Well done as always Norbert!
- Dan

Hi Norbert. You could call this lake Reflection Lake and nobody would argue with you! I like how you carefully fit the big tree in on the far right. Too bad about the lighting as it's a little overcast and the colors lost a little pop. Nothing you can do about that of course. Nicely done Norbert!

Hi Norbert,
That's a superb photo of an awesome landscape. Your composition with the canoe, the reflections and everything that is so detailled is excellent. TFS

not only a clever title for the shot Norberto, but also a beautiful view of the lake and the activity associated with it,

very well!

I'll take number 1 please Norbert! It's all ready waiting for me in the water...
Beautiful scene, and the busy jetty shows us what excitement we can have paddling oour canoes in the super lake. Well shown, thank you.

oupss merci pour la note technique de ta photo...une bien belle image de nature que tu postes là Nwoehnl...les couleurs sont fantastiques avec le contraste du ciel noir et orageux je suppose...les montagnes ressortent bien et les sapins sont très bien rendus en reflection...les petites barques de couleur donnent toute l'animation à cette composition...merci pour ce partage de ce merveilleux pays...amicalement BI

Good capture Nobert. I like how the pier points your eyes out into the distant scene.

It is perhaps a bit odd to see the concept of numbers in this wild environment, Norbert, but here it is and communicated so effectively. It is a nice contrast in this space, and not threatening like most numbers are in our society.
