Downtown Des Moines Reflected in Gray's Lake

Piece description from the artist

I'm always drawn to scenes that feel peaceful, that transport you out of the busyness of life and provide a sense of quiet calm. As the sun bids farewell for the day and dusk arrives, a sense of peace fills the air.

In this scene I used a slow shutter speed to add even more stillness to the water and to create a softness to the reflections. It is my hope that the viewer feels that sense of peace and calm that dusk brings with it.
