Remnants of Pickerel Lake
I took a walk on the new ice last week.
The early evening sun throws long shadows.
Long-dead Tamaracks give character to this shallow lake.
Years of weathering, wind, and sun enhance the wood grain.
Long, tapered branches twist and persist.
How much longer will this Tamarack stand?

These are amazing shots! I especially love the first two. Perfect light.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments, and for being here at WWFN.
It's all about the light, isn't it? The low-in-the-sky (and rare) winter sun warms the photographs, even on the frozen lake.
I appreciate your interest, and I'm eager to hear from you again.
Gratefully,
Richard
Wonderful photos, Ricardo. Yes, you are correct, it's all about the light. My lake is not as beautiful as yours, so my pictures are never this good.

ReplyDeleteThanks again for your kind words.
I've seen some beautiful shots taken at Lake Macatawa. Just become a regular sky watcher, and get outside everyday, every season.
