Description
A desolate swamp sits in the middle of an early-spring forest on the Cooper's Falls hiking trail in the Muskoka region of Ontario on a cloudy day, reflecting the trees in the water.
Cooper's Falls is an old pioneer town that's now considered a ghost town, although there are still people who live there. The trail follows an old route through the forest and rocks.

Beautiful landscape photograph of a swamp with great colors, perspective, light and reflections, and composition! F/L

Beautiful reflection of the sky! I will have to do that trail in the spring!

Thanks! I did it in early April 2021, and there were sections that were quite muddy. Not impassable, just make sure you're wearing proper boots. :) Also, I hadn't really done any hiking in Muskoka at the time - usually when I go there, I go to a cottage and spend the days by the lake. I'm a bit of a city slicker, at least in the sense that I've lived in Toronto all my life, but I really prefer to be out in places like this. I wasn't prepared for the rockiness of the hikes in Muskoka - a "hike" in Toronto is usually a flat dirt path through the woods, maybe with a tree root exposed now and then. The ones I did in Muskoka were much more interesting.
