Still Water, Lake Ontario At The Pump House Pier

            In looking for another (unrelated) earlier digital image, I came across a panorama sequence taken back in January 2016 and left partially processed and forgotten. Well, this was its day. This shows the pump house pier in Grimsby, Ontario on a very still-water morning where the mouth of The Forty (AKA the Forty Mile Creek) empties into the South shore of Lake Ontario. On this morning the colours, the clouds and the reflections provided a relatively rare view of this area in a dead calm. BTW, the small point of land on the right marks the separator between the mouth of The Forty and a marina just to the East. Seagulls occupy the tip of the pier and various ducks enjoy a paddle in the calm waters. - JW
