This is a pond on the Alberter Farm near where I grew up in western Pennsylvania. This was taken one Easter morning at sunrise as I was driving to the Flight 93 memorial near Shanksville, PA to photograph the temporary memorial at sunrise. I had walked, ridden the school bus, bicycled and driven past this scene countless times for over 20 years while growing up there, but had never seen it like this. Needless to say, I stopped for a few moments to record the fog rolling off the pond which then migrated along a low area in the valley. It was actually more breathtaking a scene than this photo can do justice.
Thanks for stopping by.

It's beautiful. I can identify with knowing what a place looked like as compared to the image, but just seeing the image is wonderful:-)

My goodness. I keep working my way back through your wonderful blog and each day I am saying "Wow!" You have a marvelous eye for light and here again you show sensitivity (and good skill with your camera) to capture a magical moment. I love the great simplicity of this one. The lines and colors are all very calm.
