Autumn at Skokie Lagoons

 Since the leaves have begun to change colors I've made a habit 
of biking to the Skokie Lagoons in hopes of getting a perfect picture 
of trees next to the water at sunset. I suppose this shot is close 
enough in terms of composition and capturing autumn colors. 

I used a small tripod and a high aperture at sunset to capture 
the reflection of the trees in the water at a low angle with warmer 
colors. Occasionally there'd be a few lone fishermen or a group 
of geese on the other side of the lagoon.
