Drove south for meeting in Prescott Az.(the city name is pronounced Preskitt, I've never known why but when in Prescott do as the Preskittians do) This is Watson Lake, a man made lake just north of the city. I must and will go back, after all there are kayaks for rent and its just gorgeous.
@jaybutterfield Thank you, I am so glad that I stopped on the way back. The storms did prevent me from staying too long.
@mbrutus Thank you so kindly for the fav. I have only begun to explore this area. I was amazed how gorgeous this is, doesn't look like it should be in the middle of Arizona.
@nickspicsnz Thank you so very much for the fav. The rocks and reflections are what I want to explore but maybe down at the water's level next time.
@evalieutionspics Thank you a great deal, the lake and area were very peaceful for a summer afternoon. The incoming thunder storms but have played a part in that. I drove through them on my way home.
Very dramatic. The sky and all the detail in the shot actually make me kind of nervous.To me it looks like a scene where 'something' is about to happen though I have no idea what.
@gardencat I wish I could have stayed for the storm to pass through, there was a covered picnic table area near but I'm not sure if it would be safe. I will have to investigate. Lightening is cool and dramatic from a distance.
This seems different to anything I've see before. I suspect it's the light, although 2.05pm seems a tadge early for blue hour. I'd have thought I'd stumbled on a film set! Excellent!
@s4sayer This is a 'regular' shot (not an IR image) that I processed with Nik in Photoshop but the light that the upcoming storm clouds gave was most unique. I was very glad that I stopped and paid the entrance fee-always a barrier for this cheap one. You are so very kind, thank you for the fav.
@stephanies Truly appreciative of the fav, thank you! This lake is a bit a drive for me (about 2hours) but I now know that I will make the effort again and again. I was amazed how cool it is.
@jo38 Thank you, the Nik collection in Photoshop helped but the lake and rocks are beyond amazing so I will go back. There is camping sites so plans will have to be made.
