Floatplane Dawn Switchback River New Brunswick

Deep shadows cloak the switchback river approach in New Brunswick as early spring light breaks. A floatplane rests on the glassy water, its hull dark against the pale mist pooling in the low bends. Rim light traces the aircraft's upper edges, separating it from the surrounding gloom. Converging lines of the riverbank and distant treeline draw toward a vanishing point shrouded in ground fog. The water reflects the soft, cool gray of the dawn sky, while the plane's white floats catch the first hints of gold. One rivet on the wing strut glints where the light strikes the metal surface.
