Swanholme Lakes Sunset I saw a nice sunset developing while walking in Hartsholme Park. I decided to move swiftly down to Swanholme Lakes where I hoped to get some nice colours reflected in the water. I tried to attract some waterfowl as foreground interest, but to no avail. However, I noticed the nice ripple patterns caused by my pebble throwing, so at the height of the afterglow I threw a nice big one in and took this photo.
