Title: Tranquility
Post by: RBSinTo on July 26, 2017, 19:43:46

This was taken earlier this summer at The Beach, on the Lake Ontario shore in the eastern end of Toronto.
My wife and I were spending an afternoon with one of our grand children, and I was left to my own devices for a few minutes when they went off for a bathroom break.
I spotted a couple sitting on a bench between two large trees. They were quietly enjoying the view of the lake, the wonderful warm sunny day and each other, and liking the composition and the peaceful feeling it gave me, I grabbed this shot

Beautiful shot, Robert!

The symmetry, the complementary color of the sky and the deck (?), nice gradient blue sky, silhouetted couple sitting on the bench...everything fit well together.
