In the soft pause before the storm, Quarry Lake rests beneath a fragile light. The first gold of autumn settles across the pines and aspens that ring the water, their reflections trembling slightly on the lake’s mirrored surface. Beyond them, the Canadian Rockies rise in layered relief—gray slopes dusted with early snow, peaks veiled in slow-moving cloud. The air feels heavy but kind, the kind of stillness that speaks not of peace, but of preparation. Reeds at the shoreline bow under the wind’s first touch, their slender forms sketching faint ripples across the glass.
Light moves gently here. It glances off the lake in silver tones, catches the single flare of yellow in the trees, then fades as clouds gather mass. The forest darkens by degrees, greens deepening to near black, the golden reflection brightening in contrast. For a heartbeat, the world feels perfectly suspended—sky waiting to fall, mountain waiting to vanish into rain. Even the air smells of threshold: pine resin, wet stone, and the metallic scent of weather not yet arrived.
From this vantage, everything resolves into symmetry—mountain above, reflection below, stillness framed by motion. The composition reads like a whispered conversation between calm and change, each element aware of what comes next yet unwilling to break the quiet.
Reflected Silence captures the moment just before release, when the world seems to hold its breath in perfect poise. It’s an image of waiting rather than arrival—of beauty defined by what it withholds. In that restrained light, both the storm and the calm find equal voice, mirrored flawlessly upon the water’s skin.
