Hermitage Park, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
The photo was taken about 8 pm, and the sunset time was near 10 pm. The orange hue was due to the wildfire haze covering the sun, making the entire day golden. It was also quite windy, the water was a bit of wavy because of the wind; thus, the grebe was on an incline. I think the grebe was trying to balance itself by stretching its wings.
