At this time of the year, Backbone State Park is one of my favorite destinations. The water, forest, colorful foliage, quiet, rugged terrain and longstanding structures are some of the features sure to satisfy any nature lover. Anyway, during my recent visit there was a distinct chill in the air, a light wind and the clouds were unsettled and passing through quickly while blocking much of the early evening sunlight. The effect was unique as the lighting was very harsh and created some interesting contrasts. Definitely, those elements are present in both images as the thick, puffy dark clouds appear directly overhead. In addition, the ripples on the water's surface indicate the cool fall breeze.
"Is not this a true autumn day?
Just the still melancholy that I love -- that makes life and nature harmonize."
--George Eliot
