Wow Glen, fantastic. Were you on a boat when you took that?

Thanks. I liked the symmetry and shape.
My son had been asking for another morning bike ride at the resevior. Pictures weren't the main reason to go, but I still brought the camera.
It has changed a lot since my visits in the early summer. The water level is much lower. Where I was wading then we rode our bikes on today, and the spots where I took the pics of the lilies, lily pads, etc are dry now.
The pic was taken from the water's edge.

A cool pic of a cool spot.
Looks straight out of a cheesy '60s Sci-Fi movie.

Thanks Steve. If you haven't looked at my notes in the picture game, it's the former Bell Labs site, built during the late 50s early 60s.

It's an interesting place. It's now been converted to office / public use space. The inside of the building is immense.

Nice.
Is that the sun or artificial light?

Gotcha. Just looked at the camera settings that you noted and wow. I i go really low on ISO, my exposure time goes way up.

Normally I try to stay under 800, and lower if possible. But I had just stepped outside, and didn't have the tripod. Actually never ran the ISO at max before. Worked OK.

Here's one that just popped up, literally, while out on a paddle this week. They don't often get close enough.

Here's another I stumbled across tonight that was taken on one of my Oregon Coast motorcycle trips back in 2012.
