Inspirations"There is a magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude and peace. The way of a canoe is the way of the wilderness and of a freedom almost forgotten." -Sig Olson
Magic indeed. One of my favorite outdoor pursuits is getting out on the water in my kayak, particularly during spring or autumn mornings. I've had some of my most memorable photographic outings in my kayak - many species of wildlife are inherently curious and with patience, will allow fairly close encounters.
This image is from Powers Lake in East Lyme, Connecticut. A rarity in the fact that apart from a Yale University outdoor education camp, there is no other development. Memories of paddling in Maine or Alaska rushed back into me, and Powers Lake became a place to enjoy the solitude and peace of nature.
