Hermitage Park, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
7D | 300/2.8L + 2x | 1/30 sec,. f/5.6, ISO 400; on tripod.

The images were captured around sunset, and the sun disappeared behind the hill. Rather than raising the ISO, I slowed the shutter down to do some pan/motion blurs.

One more photo added in the first comment box below. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

It was fun to observe the mating behaviour of the Common Goldeneyes. Very entertaining to watch the male fight off other males and chase after the ladies (and perhaps get rejected by the ladies).
