Elk Island National Park

Sunset and Smoke - Astotin Lake

You have to stay up pretty late to see the sun set in Alberta this time of year. I missed the "longest day of the year" sunset by one day - this is the second longest day of the year. The long day let me drive out to Elk Island National Park and get in a pretty good hike around Astotin Lake during the evening. As I was taking some photos on the lake, a billow of smoke appeared to the left of the setting sun - I'm not sure the source but it made for an interesting effect! HCS!
