I Don't Know Why...


I don't know why I took this picture, exactly.  I was walking along the sidewalk that runs along the edge of the harbor.  I went up to the railing to look around - I am not sure why I did it at just this spot, but I was immediately taken with the dark shapes of the rocks.  Then I noticed the remains of the yellow grasses, then the gray water and snow.  I do know that I really  like it when a photo is "layered" like this, with foreground, middleground, and background.  It just felt right, and it only took a second or two to compose the image in the viewfinder.  Just like that.

  2. My immediate reaction when I clicked on this photo was "I love it!". It's a combination of the dark softly shaped rocks, white snow & ice and the golden grasses. This is a keeper...bsk
