Not a breath of wind
Is to be had
The sky all red and orange
The dawn of a new day
Is upon the land
The Four Sisters eroded descendants
Of peaks once young in height
With quartz cliffs that gleam
Like snow from a far
A craggy imposing landscape
That others have passed
Many thousand of years before
Covered with jack pine ridges
Descending oak,maple and pine
Cover the mountain side
In the bowels of the mountains
Sapphire lakes gleam in the morning light
Mirroring the surrounding landscape
On their glass like surface
Sloping red granite offset
The stark white quartz
Upon a windswept ridge
A twisted pine braves the elements
Having landed there as a seed
Growing up as best as it can
Now part of the landscape
Bit by bit the Four sisters
Are revealed as rounded humps
Against the glowering sky
Revealing their everlasting beauty
To paddlers and hikers now passing by
Being among the La Cloche Mountain system is a very inspirational experience for anyone who has been there.There is much beauty to be found as one canoes or hikes this mountain system in Killarney Provincial Park
The above scene is a series of photos put together to create the composition.I photographed the panoramic at O S A Lake in Killarney Provincial Park last Fall.At one point the mist was lifting and the sky was a gorgeous Orange and Red for a few minutes.In this particular section of the La Cloche Mountains their are four rounded humps visible on the South side of O S A Lake.The name Four Sisters is my own doing.
A truly beautiful panoramic view Ken..
