Description
There is typically a hole in the surface winds behind the larger islands. The calm water reflects the islands, rocks and trees more like a mirror. The choppy reflective surface of the waters exposed to the westerly winds offer more of a shattered reflective view. The trees of the Parry Sound Archipelago are heavily flagged by the westerly winds off Georgian Bay. The cirrus in the sky foretold of the approaching autumn storm that would arrive the following morning. The cirrus is strong out in broad lines parallel to the warm conveyor belt flow of the upper jet stream. I theorize this banding as identical to Langmuir Streets but only in the fluid of the atmosphere and not in the water. The smaller gravity wave banding embedded on the larger atmospheric Langmuir Streets are perpendicular to the wind direction like waves of a lake.
The sun was getting low on the western horizon. The twilight was already blanketing the land well to the east in rosy light. It is often challenging to deduce the rosy twilight skies in the distance. There is only thin cirrus in the horizon but it looks convincingly like altostratus.
The sky always has a lesson to teach if we only take the time. This quiet and reflective landscape makes me want to slow down and smell the wind... or the roses.

Thank you Sunny. The migrating flock of greater Canada geese were a happy accident. I let them fly.
