End of Summer

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 7 September 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The end of summer is here. Some will find sadness in that. However, that means my favorite time of year is right around the corner. Shot at Marsh Creek State Park.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
- Zen Buddhist Text

Wonderful dreamy scene with that white boat in the centre.

I like the deep browns and the darker tones, RD - nicely done - some of us are sad to be leaving flip flop weather but yes, Fall is the photographer's dream!

I like the framing between both trees, and the softness of watery reflections in the distance.
