Breathtaking scenery shots, Paul.
The natural light's beauty and dispersion in the first two photos is incredible. While the first is very serene, the second is as sweet as it gets, especally with the added silhouettes of the ducks on the right side as the only living life forms around at that time, besides yourself, naturally!
The third is also striking with the artificial lighting and sweet morning sky blues as the background. I liked the dark shadows in the restless surfacee of the sand, left behind from human feet activity.
Thanks for sharing. I'm so glad your daughter has taken up ice skating... for the obvious reasons. : )
