Gone Fishing

A small fishing boat heads out into Lake Diefenbaker on a smoky day

I drove to Gardiner Dam at the north end of Lake Diefenbaker one summer morning to see what I could find to photograph.  I walked to an area overlooking the lake and noticed a few fishing boats making their way onto the lake.  I waited and captured this boat as it motored into the lake.

The “fog” in this image isn’t fog but rather smoke from forest fires burning in Alberta and British Columbia. 2023 was the worst forest fire year in Canadian history.
