An Unusual Landscape

I was asked to fine a "weather" photo today - something to do with the relatively warm day. Drove by this creek out east, and turned around to come back and shoot it. I found people feeding ducks for the shot I needed, and then noticed this landscape. I was taken by the unusual collection of textures - the Phragmites, the flatness of the water, the trees in the distance, and the snags in the water. While composing this photo I realized that I had never quite seen a landscape like this before. It was fun to spend time trying subtle differences in the composition, before finding this view.
