I like this series very much. This very long exposure image gives the water and sky a silky feel and renders the image very quiet and peaceful. This is a great piece of work.

Thanks Harold, I was well over 180 seconds as the sun was setting and just had dropped below the cloud bank but was above the horizon for about a minute AND they were telling me that I had to get out because they wanted to shut the gates!!! The shutter clicked and I was carrying my camera to the car as the camera was processing the image... It's hard to be an artist some days... :-)
