Two Shot Stop

A closer view of the reflections in the water.  I find it myself mesmerized as I fall into the patterns.  Just another wonderful stop on the October Road.

Mirrored Magic

Perfect blue sky, perfect still water, create a mirror that reflects the autumn colors in a small lake along the October Road.

In A Place Stranger Than The Last

What seemed like a perfectly normal place is transformed by a shift of perspective and a twist of the camera.

Kiss of Sunlight

I love the textures in this image.  The grass in the foreground, the reflected clouds and the sunlight capping it off at the top.  Also, the shape of the clouds gives the illusion of depth to the center of the image, making it seem almost three dimensional.

Time By the Lake

I recently spent a couple days at a northern Minnesota lake doing a bit of fishing and, of course, a bit of photography.  There’s something about early morning and late afternoon light on water that is hard to resist.  Especially when the water is smooth and the clouds contribute to the composition.

Out of the Lake

Morning Stillness

All is quiet in the harbor.

A Moment to Reflect

In the small places where the bigger waves don’t reach, the water is a bit calmer and there is a chance for reflection.

Grappling

Inverting an image can sometimes present a fresh perspective on a subject.  In this instance, the sky ends up appearing to be in the right place, but the tree seems “awkward” as though it were shot from an unusual position.

Mirroring the Marvelous

I don’t think water can be any more still than this.
