The picture of the day is back with today's Thunderbird.

Time for a new POD comment thread. The last thread is here:

It's now closed..... Time to move on.

As always, anyone can submit their own photos for display as a POD (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links).

Karl;

Where was todays photo taken?


Phantom Jug,

The location of today's POD is on a beautiful island campsite at the very north end of North Bay of Basswood in the Quetico.

Thanks.  Southern Q . . . have not been there in a long while.  Looks like a nice spot.

I took shelter on another island in North Bay last week during a torrential downpour. There was a scarcely used and quite beautiful site carved out of the moss and rock. I was very impressed- beautiful.

I've seen sites with beautiful individual elements but no single site I could say that about. Got a picture?

I did not take a picture of the site. It was rustic, minimally developed, a small fire ring with vegetation all around it, the only tent sites would have been moss. Nice elevated rocky shore that tapered to a water level point. When soloing I tend to prefer sites that would accommodate 1-3 paddlers at most- sites that have fallen into dis-use.

Really pretty photo today, Karl.  Looks ethereal, almost otherworldly, the way the canoes seem to sort of float in space at the bottom.  I like the mood. Smiley

Like it! When I look at the horizon in the photo then tilt my laptop screen it is like watching the sunset/sunrise. The light reflecting off the gunnels make the photo. I bet you didn't notice the full effect until you examined the photo later.
