Dow's Lake is running low

Today I went out for a walk in the neighborhood and decided to walk around Dow's Lake. Surprisingly, the lake kind of felt empty. In the Spring time, the NCC/City drains the canal, try to lower the water, and this affects the water at Dow's Lake. We would think that with the Spring thaw, that the water levels would be up, however in this case the water is quite low. Dow's Lake is not a normal lake as it is a man made lake. Once upon a time it used to be a swamp, and now it's a pleasure space that is used at different times of year, skating in the winter, paddle boat in the summer, has tulips on one side during the tulip festival, etc. As you can see from my photo, the water is quite low...

midnight reflection

This photo is another attempt to capture light, however through reflection. The pool of water is the reflective matter which is surrounded by snow and pavement. Part of what I hope is a spring thaw, which can't come early enough. The photo didn't come out as good as I had wanted it, but this was my first attempt. I hope to do this again sometime later this year, and see how water can be used to reflect light.
