Shades of grey

It’s been cold and rainy all day, but just after noon I caught the sun peeking through the clouds across the lake and highlighting the forest. I grabbed my camera.

It’s hard to see, but the lake water is actually two-toned. Most of it is a greenish teal color (glacier water and all) but along the shoreline is a massive area that’s a deep dark blue. You can see the two shades in the lower left near the trees, if you look closely enough.

Colors aside, a few hours later the lighting had changed and become different shades of grey. The photo below hasn’t been altered– these are the actual colors (or lack of colors, to be precise):

I like the “moody” black and white look, but at the same time I’m looking forward to some sunshine again. Come on, it’s late May… when can I get on the water again?
