On a Clear Day You Can See Forever

We are watching the Blackhawks play in the Stanley Cup tournament, streamed on Jim's computer. Out the window the sun is setting. The day was spent cleaning closets, dusting, putting things where they belong for the summer, etc. And I was having a bit of editing / processing fun for ETSOOI-50.
Photo taken early evening -- the lake is up this year, which is good.
Edited first in LR (cropping adjustments to contrast, lighting, saturation). Exported to SnapArt and edited in Crayon. Reimported to LR for finishing touches. Score is now 3-0 in favor of the Hawks!
