A canoe floats on a lake at sunset, with the sun reflecting on the water and distant hills in the background.
Just before sunset I grabbed a paddle and my camera, and went canoeing for about 30 minutes. There was a strong breeze so it was difficult to point the canoe towards the sun while taking a picture. People claiming this was due to the vodka-cola are not to be believed ...

Two people lift a canoe over rough ground while others assist in a wooded area.
Ocassionally, we had to carry the canoes overland to get from one lake to another. Despite the canoe wagons, this can be daunting.

Several canoes with paddles and gear are lined up on the shore of a calm lake in the morning.
In the early morning, the lakes are flat and the reflection of the clouds can be both stunning and peaceful.
