This image today is my contribution to the "My Special Place" challenge from the oh-so-lovely Kylie Greenan. Thanks for this Kylie...great challenge!
Lost Lagoon is a place I go to gather my thoughts, and take in the sights and sounds of nature. It's a great escape from the city, but still within the city itself...not to mention a splash of colour for the usual dark and brooding :-)

Beautiful Fall landscape

The colours here are just extraordinary. The golds are so warm and inviting, and a great contrast to the dark clouds above. This is indeed a very Special Place, its truly beautiful!
7 Nov 2008 9:25am
Nice colors given by warm evening sun, you captured it in the right time!

What a remarkable image. Personally, I wouldn't center the swan though. Otherwise, sensational!

It's beautiful. Yet, characteristically you have managed to take this scene of quiet beauty and add just a touch of tension with those impending clouds on the horizon. A promise of stormy weather to come? Maybe. Maybe not. Classic BC excellence.

A masterful masterpiece form its sheer beauty, bravo Blue :)
7 Nov 2008 3:29pm
Very pretty. Solitude, warmth, beauty...it has it all.
7 Nov 2008 3:37pm
Wow... I can see why, that's a beautiful place, and this shot is amazing with the dark clouds and bright trees.
7 Nov 2008 5:04pm
This is a gorgeous shot of your special place; the colors are fantastic and the light, magical!

@gbe: Me? Kidding? Never!!! ;-)
Indeed it is a beautiful place and I thank you, but I really give all credit to Mother Nature and this incredible light that came from between the clouds on a late afternoon last weekend. I just happened to be there with a camera and tripped the shutter.
I adore the sky, which often resembles you more in your photographs. This place must be very special for you, you succeeded in putting a white swan. Cheer for your photographic choice of the day ;)

This is a paradisiac place, of fairy tales or romantic painting.
I like very much the composition with the swan adding life to natural life.
7 Nov 2008 7:35pm
Oh this is SO gorgeous... so soft yet the colours so pretty... love it...

Beautiful view, the light on the trees is so clear, the clouds so impressionist.
I LOVE this one

Great balance of color, atmosphere, and time of the year. I really like that the swan has just passed into the shadow. Elegant movement. I'm glad you were there. A beatiful place, but forgive me for not knowing ... where in the world is this?

I am overwhelmed for the second time today. This is an extraordinary photo. I feel you have managed to include the love you have for this place as well as capturing a beautiful scene with the most delightful colour and light. Wow!

So tranquil...it's gracefully beautiful. The colors are superb.
8 Nov 2008 5:05am
Wow ..what colors and light ! This is a wonderful place !

That is a truck load of colour. Beautiful.
8 Nov 2008 5:02pm
Fascinating how many Contributors have chosen a water theme to their 'Special Place'. There is a delightful unreality here, too, with that golden light playing across the surface. Wonderful place.
8 Nov 2008 5:23pm
gorgeous shot of your special place! Golden light is very beautiful!
8 Nov 2008 11:30pm
This has everything that says autumn - gorgeous colours, sunlight but storm clouds too. A great place to be especially in the city.
