Spotted Lake

For SSC: Black and White landscape.

We were on the road, so I did not contribute for a couple of Saturdays. We saw many wonderful landscapes, but none as unique as this place along Highway 3 near Oysoyoos, British Columbia, Canada. It is on indigenous land and is sacred to the Syilx Okanogan Nation.

Two weeks earlier, it just looked like a pond.

Striking composition, and contrasting textures, works so well in mono.

That's a great image, and a fascinating place. I was struck by this sad contrast in the Wikipedia article: "Spotted Lake was for centuries, and still remains, revered as a sacred site thought to provide therapeutic waters. During World War I, the minerals of Spotted Lake were used in manufacturing ammunition."

Schade, ist ein interessanter See – bitte aus SSC entfernen.
1. Die Aufnahme wurde nicht in dieser Woche gemacht.
2. Der Fokus liegt auf dem See und nicht auf der Landschaft mit dem See – siehe das Bild auf Wikipedia, dass ist eine Landschaftsaufnahme.
Es ist ein Unterschied ob man die Aufnahme für das SSC-Thema gemacht hat!
