A tranquil night by the lake

This was taken the night after I was bitten by a tick. I gradually got worse, and ended up going to hospital. now on 2 courses of antibiotics with a swollen leg. Off on holiday now, great start.

anyway this was an enjoyable night shooting.
Taken at close to midnight. another surreal sky, and only added the same saturation as the jpg was on screen. with a layer of slight s-curve
