Pre-dawn at the cottage, a tranquil pause before the day’s activity begins.

For those fortunate enough to experience the serenity of a summertime Canadian lake before the hustle and bustle of cottage life takes over, the stillness is unparalleled.

The water is a mirror-like calm, and the only sound is the haunting call of loons echoing across the lake. If only those loons’ calls could be captured alongside this image, it would truly be "picture perfect."
