Location: Madison, WI | Hi guys,
This is a follow up to my post from last night regarding Dick Pearson's quote on the beauty of the Canadian Shield. I'm wondering if any of you would be so kind as to email to me one (or more) of your favorite sunset or scenery pics. Trying to communicate to someone how awesome it is up there, and the pics would be helpful (I used to have a bunch of these pics myself, until my last laptop was stolen, and didn't have backup files anywhere). So if anybody's got their favorite pic they would be willing to email, my address is [email protected]
Please no muskies or people in the pics. Simply the scenery only....
Thanks in advance,
"Jackpot" John Schroeder

| Here is one of my favorite sunset pics taken from one of Mr. Pearson's favorite spots on LOTW. Although it doesn't show the Canadian Shield very well, but hopefully you'll like it.

Location: Madison, WI | Guys,
AWESOME!! AWESOME !! AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for sharing! And thanks to alll the guys who emailed me directly as well. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for, and it's even more fun to look at than that LONG thread entitled "Pictures of Baits" on the Basement baitmakers forum.... So throw another log on the fireplace, (it's cold today), keep those pics coming, and I wanted to include the Dick Pearson quote, cuz it's absolutely the best....
"The dictionary defines reverence as "a feeling or attitude of deep respect, love and awe, as for something sacred." That describes my feeling for the Canadian Shield. Fishing there is a spiritual experience for me. On my first trip of the year, after leaving the dock and going around the first point or island, I invariably stop, shut off the motor, and just sit there looking around. The beauty, the vastness, the sights and sounds, It's overwhelming.
Many of the most memorable and exciting events in my life have occurred on the Canadian Shield. You never know what you will see; what you'll find around the next island. Perhaps old native hieroglyphics. A stare down between a cow and calf moose and a timber wolf. Rafts of waterfowl that extend for a mile or more. An abandoned gold mine. Certainly awesome storms, sunsets and sunrises. Perhaps bass pro Guido Hibdon said it best in describing his first trip to Lake of the Woods. "Every time I came around a point," said Hibdon, "I expected to meet God."

| I think this might be the best collection of pictures ever collected in one place. Funny thing - there's no fish, and only a few people in any of them. But it does a better job of desrcibing why I chase these stupid green fish than any discussion we've had here that I can remember. It' ain't about the fish...
It's about the fishin'... |

| How is it that these beautiful photos can make me feel so good to have experienced some of them and many similar, yet so miserable to realize the tiny little doses that I must get by on of this breathtaking country. Oh yeah, and the fishing can be fun too!
I would also like to say for those with the aerial shots, I am truly envious. I would love to take a float plane trip over the woods and check out spots.

The 4th is from Shoal Lake. The 5th is from a sightseeing float plane trip we took with Northwest Flying out of Nestor Falls. We flew over Crow Lake, LOTW, and Caliper Lake.
