A long exposure brings out streaking clouds, against the turquoise waters of beautiful Moraine lake in the Canadian Rockies. #bluesky #photography #landscapephotography #nature #travel #naturephotography #mountains #art

We’ve had such a lovely bunch of authors at our first Venice Noir and such great feedback. I asked Barbara Nadel author of the great Ikmen series in Istanbul if I could share the one she just set me. Of course Barbara said yes. You’ve no idea how much this fires us up for Venice Noir 26
