One last autumn picture

We got snow yesterday, which might actually last a couple of days, and fall is well and truly over, but here's one last shot from our beautiful autumn. I took this October 1 on the Coastal Trail here in Anchorage.

Nice warmth and shadows, Blue.

Is that ocean, river, or lake in background?

If you look at a map of the Anchorage area, you can see the city sits on kind of a promontory with Turnagain Arm on the south side and Knik Arm on the north, two "fingers" of Cook Inlet. I guess they would be called fjords if this were Norway. This particular spot is close to the mouth of Knik Arm where it branches off from the inlet.
