Not from BWCA, but was with boy scout canoe trip in French River Provincial park 7-14-22 in Ontario. Canoed out to far NW corner of the Georgian bay. After a long day into the wind, camped at the finger board islands and took this shot(s) 7 19. A reward for the long day. Within 15 minutes every color in the blue/red/purple spectrum. All 9 of us mesmerized. Hard to do with 14 year olds.
Back at ya , Buz. The color in your photos is remarkable, and I love how that color is reflected in the water on the ground. It's truly amazing what colors a sunset can produce.

Moosegut, I think the photo I just posted is taken from the very same campsite on Iron Lake. Is it the one with the very large rock that backs the fire grate? I love your view!
Wow. Awesome photos. It took me a while to decide which sunset shot to submit, but I decided to share this 70's-esque pic that I snapped last June on Ester Lake.
As much as I like the way it turned out, it reminded me of disco-era romantic art, so for Christmas last year, I super-imposed some cheesy lyrics from our wedding song over the image and mounted it with gloss to a slice of tree stump.
The plan was to turn it into a clock, but I thought that might take it a step too far.

Photo was taken at 6:30 am 8/18/2007. we are at the first campsite northwest of entry point 32, south kawishiwi river. the temprature was 40 degrees and the fog was rolling off the water like it was boiling.

A scroll down the list reveals many fine photos. Some ones jumping out and demanding a closer look are by Uncle Moose (Isabella River), Beemer (Agnes), Moose Plums (Jean Lake), and Darkstar75.
Hey, Adam, any chance you guys can put together a slide show of all the pictures from August, they were really great. A slide show of every month's entries would be nice -- it would be fun to got through them all full sized.
Wow, what a way to come back from my recent trip to the BW. I'm honored to have been picked, there are certainly some outstanding photos in this thread.
Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate very well last week for photo's but we had a great time none the less. We did survive thursday nights down pour without a single wet tent...
