Interesting Jimmar; I have to go back to the original photo and study it.

I get what jimmar is talking about. Depending on the type of screen you're using, changing the eyes to screen viewing angle can change colors and brightness.

We're out of PODs as of the end of August so if anyone is interested in (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)...

I see it now on my main computer screen; I couldn't see it on my second screen.  Actually it's kind of a neat effect; like watching the sunset.

Pretty photo today,  Karl.  I'm sitting in the hospital on day three after my knee replacement, and I needed an uplifting view like that. :dankk2

S2, Good luck with your rehab. I hear it's tough but needed to get the most benefit from the replacement.

Pat, Great POD of McAree today!  I have almost an identical photo on McAree from 2008 on a calm canoeing day with similar reflections.

I've thought about taking along a "screen room" like shown in today's POD.  I suspect it's more viable for base camping than heavy travel, but even so the one I've got is pretty light - I've only used it in the back yard tho.
Do very many folks do that?  Pros & cons?  -Tom

This was the first time we took a screen room Tom and it was great. It is big and bulky, but this was a base camp trip so the size and weight of the thing were not a problem. We spent the entire week on McAree, only two portages going in, one move mid-week, and one portage out. We traveled heavy with the screen room and big comfy chairs.

At times there were dozens of frustrated critters on the screens trying to get in. We had the entry/exit procedure down to about a second and a half, and if one or two mosquitoes made it in we tracked them down and killed them. It was nice to be able to cook and eat without the constant aggravation of the bugs.

Next year we will be portaging more, so the big screen room will be left behind. I have a plan to modify one of those nets that drapes over a patio umbrella to suspend under one of my silnylon tarps. It won't be nearly as roomy, but will be small and light. The one in the picture was neither!

We've used a 10'X10' "tundra tarp" made by Cooke Custom Sewing (CCS) for about 10 years.  It's size and weight is about the equivalent of a tent.  It has more than paid for it's cost and weight by making our June/July camping trips so much more enjoyable.  We sit inside, playing cards, eating, enjoying a cocktail, napping, visiting; with the angry drone of millions of skeeters just inches away!  We even took it on a recent Woodland Caribou trip, but only set it up once.  Along with small lightweight camp chairs with back rests, the tundra tarp, or screen tent, has made camping "civilized!"
