 Oct - Sept 2012 Photo Contest Winner was O2banRRT (22 votes).
 .  "It was early morning ~6 am (the EXIF data is wrong in case you check), the sun was just rising and there was still mist coming off the water. I took a series of 5 photos varying the exposure for each slightly and combined the photos giving the result you see here.  Here is a larger version of the photo: http://wwccphotos.smugmug.com/Canoeing2 ... 1991009716
 

 

And here is Smokey's photo with 19 votes.  This was " Taken late evening on Evelyn Lake in the Chiniguichi area in June on a solo trip. Was sitting on the bank of the lake reading and happened to glance to my right and liked the play of light on the pines and grasses. Taken with Canon Powershot SX120 and no post photo processing.

Nastawgan: the WCA Quarterly Journal
 
route map example Canoe Trips From our Routes Database

In the province of Quebec is a very interesting lake that can be paddled, called Lac Manicouagan. Manicouagan was formed by an impact about 212 million years ago & some scientists believe that this impact may have been responsible for a mass extinction associated with the loss of roughly 60% of all species. It has been proposed that the impact was created by an asteroid with a diameter of about 5 kilometers. A description of this very interesting 5-day canoe trip on Lac Manicouagan is available in our routes database.
