"Wood Duck"


I haven't had enough of art museums lately.  Two days ago I went to the Nassau County Museum of Fine Art to see an exhibit of paintings by American artists over the last 300 years.  It is a stunning exhibit - so good, that I went back again today, to see it again.  I looked out of a window in one of the galleries and saw this in the distance.  It is a sculpture titled "Wood Duck" by the artist Allen Bertoldi.  Normally it just sits in the water, but what makes this scene so spectacular is that it is now surrounded by ice and bare trees, and everything in the photograph is gray.  I will photograph this again, but I am guessing that this photograph at this moment in time and in this light will be hard to beat.
