Shifting balance of darkness and light

Rest, made increasingly impossible by the omnipresent force of the World Wide Web, can be found at Muskoka which is isolated enough to only have one 1994 computer for around 10 cottages. Fishing, exploring, waking up at 5am daily, going out on a boat - I had a great time!

The beaches there are generally pleasant but not really anything special - that is until sunset. The parting sun transforms the surroundings into splashing colors of yellow (pic 1 taken @ 8:21PM), deep red (pic 2 taken @ 8:45PM), and the gradients of the two. A contradictory presence of both increased light and increased darkness floods the lake. The sunset draws people out of their cottages, attracting the everlasting real vampires - mosquitoes. But what is really great is the peace and serenity. I really had an amazingly restful week.
