    What a good picture ! The sky and the ground blend in together real well around the blurry horizon, especially color-wise. The color of the lake is really interesting, and the patterns of the surroundings are really good too ! I don’t know if I like the wing, because the shot would have seemed much more mysterious without it on one hand. But it sure doesn’t kill that excellent shot !

    Yeaah! Canadian, & a Newfoundlander at that!
    Great Shot of Lake Manitoba,Karen. You should submit this as a “where is this?” Photo to OUR CANADA Mag.
    Have you entered any shots of Beautiful Newfoundland?

    You guessed it! I’m from the Rock.

    Amazing graphic quality. Would have been nice if you had included an explaination about the geometrical structures. Looks like a snow covered city (Which one?). But what about frozen serpentine tracks. Rivers?
    The wings works well, for me.

  7. Pauline Jones Pauline Jones Says:

    Interesting picture, what are those rectangles and why don’t they follow the contours of the land?

    Very original. Well taken, well composed with the airplanewing still visible in the righthandside.

    MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!! I Love Canada. And you are so right Karen, I love the ever changing landscape! Amazing shot!!!!!!!!!! EZ

  11. Paula Heelan Says:

    Lovely shot Karen. More explanation about the landscape for those of us who have never been to Canada would be great. Is it snow covered, or is it ice - what month?

    I think the wing makes the shot.

    Nice art piece, but it doesn’t look like a natural photo.

  13. Peter Cooney Peter Cooney Says:

    It looks like an alien landscape with all the quarters sectioned like some futuristc farming on some far flung planet.

    Awesome shot!

  15. Bob Says:

    Great picture!

    The square lines are roads, on a mile grid and the closer ones are probably tree lines. it looks like it was talken in late February. Frozen lake and some snow. Bottom of the lake is swamp and smaller lakes. Land is flat as a pancake. Manitoba Geography 101.
