Description
Who would guess that this pretty winter sunset scene could be found within a mile of the city limits of Papillion, Nebraska? Once the land beneath this lake was low-lying fields; when a flood control dam was built on Walnut Creek in the late 1990s, the area was flooded and the few trees died leaving bare branched silhouettes like this one around the perimeter of the lake. Walnut Creek Lake and Recreation Area was born. The area is a pack-in/pack-out facility, popular for its three mile hiking and biking trail, boat dock and ramp, fishing pier, equestrian trail, picnic and play areas, and RV and tent camping sites.

A soft, peaceful sunrise/set, Nikolyn. I like the subtle colors, especially the mute violet against the soft peach. Instant Favorite!
