I can honestly say I have seen more sunsets in the last few years of landscape photography than many people see in a lifetime.
Sure, you see it when your driving back from work, on the bus, at dinner etc… But when your standing in total seclusion, with out any noise apart from the wind in the trees the occasional bird and across this lake the gentle clacking splash of a row boat, then you get a 100% immersive experience.
Oh, and at this lake there is no cellular signal (fist pump!) And its rowboat only, no outboards.
So I just stood, in the cooling evening air, and clicked off the occasional frame as sunrise ended and the long shadows crept across the lake and far mountains of the Southern Alps.
I will be back!
Silence is golden, or maybe rose gold in this case…
