Medicine Lake, Alberta

[Zeph]

Part of the Maligne River Valley, this area fills with snow and glacial melt in the summer, turns into a shallow and quite drab pond in the Autumn. Taken on different days with different processing...

Excellent! I particularly love the 1st one. Great tonal range and very nice sepia tone.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Nice processing on the first one. That lake has a unique look to it, esp in the fall/winter season.

I do like the misty view down the valley in the first one but the second one with the early fall tints grab my attention a little longer.

 

[Kyle Jones]

Both are nice - but I'll go with the first. I really like the atmosphere in it.

Hey Zeph,

Nice work here. My favorite is #1. You really scored with that toning in it. Excellent work with it.

Love that first one, in particular, Zeph. I always visit here when in Alberta and it never lets one down. Spooky,mysterious and a habitat for wildlife - not to mention the Indian name taken from it's annual "disappearance". You have caught its wonderful atmosphere in both of these!

The rocks have a grey appearance, the annual grasses survive the months of snow and then submersion when the lake fills up in the spring. The above shots are from the north looking south, the lakes main tributaries are in the south. There is no visible channel out of the lake, so in essence the shore is a pile of rocks that the water flows through.
Here's the view from the east side.
