Crimea River's Weekend Pics

[Crimea_River]

Yep, my iPhone. Just some minor tweaking of lighting using PS8 as the exposures were a little too bright for my taste. Otherwise they are as is.

Spectacular is the word alright...!

Thanks Wayne. Another hike possibly on Saturday but forecast calls for rain.

Friday was such a spectacular fall day and the fall colours were in their prime. After running a few errands in the morning, I went for a walk in the park near my house and then decided to pack a quick lunch of bread, Camembert, and wine to head to the mountains for the rest of the afternoon. Enjoy!

The fishermen were taking advantage of the weather as well and obviously found a sweet spot.

Beauty. Any ideas as to what they are fishing for?

The Bow River has Brown and Rainbow Trout Geo. This summer has been very warm and the water temp was higher than normal. As a result, the fishermen were asked to not catch and release until the waters cooled down as the fish were already quite stressed due to the temperatures. Obviously the restriction was cleared when I took this pic.

Thanks. Never caught a Brown Trout but I've heard they are the best fighters.

Great pics of fantastic scenery Andy - makes me want to get my boots on (or fit a bigger motor, and off-road tyres, to my scooter !!).

Very nice Andy. Still waiting for the colour to change in southern Ontario. Our 2 week heatwave has delayed things considerably.

Great shots Andy!

Yep, caught this in the mountains in central Victoria. It was a close quarters battle!

Just for interest, I'll post another couple of pics. This summer will be remembered here for its record number of days of smoke due to the high number of fires in BC and nearby. The pics below are of a picturesque grain elevator that I drive by weekly on my way down to Nanton. I've stopped a couple of times to take pics and the last time was to record the unbelievably bad air quality. Here's a before and after, the first pic taken at the end of May and the second just 2 weeks ago.
