Scudder's Pond


I hope this photo is "readable" in this small size. I rode by Scudder's Pond several times before today, at this time of day, when out cycling. Didn't have a camera with me at the time. Today I was driving by in my car, with the usual trunk full of cameras, so stopped to shoot this, finally. It is a bit different than most of my other landscapes. Flat lighting, for one. It is a very subtle landscape, made up more of very delicate textures than of larger shapes or forms. It is lovely in its delicacy when seen on a 15 inch laptop screen. I was taken by the straw colors in the orange light about a half-hour before sunset. Maybe if you click on the image, then the enlarged version will show the detail better.
