What a special day last Saturday was. I had the privilege to do some shooting in Terrebonne with Robert, or treborf , his user ID in “Flickr”.

For those who don’t know, Flickr is “the reference” on the Internet for photographs to exchange opinion on their art.

After a few exchanges, we decided to go shooting together to catch the “first light”.

That is so cool, I am going to a new place with a guide ! In a few weeks, I will return the favor and show Robert nice opportunities in my region.

Be on site at 7:00, that is the plan, so I had to wake up at 5:00 to get on time to the rendez-vous point, the Tim Hortons at Mascouche.

Robert had the excellent idea for us to start the day at Rivière du parc.

Once on site, we saw hundreds of geese still through the dark. There is even a big 3 floor observatory. Only thing missing was a “Lazyboy”

There is nothing lake the morning colors…
