Trees and water

Bare oaks, pines and still water through one winter.

For a winter issue on slow travel, Littoral Journal sent me inland for a week. I walked the same forest every day and came back to the same pond each evening.

Most pictures were made in the last half hour of light. On the final morning I went out with a survey boat and saw one tail, once.

White water lilies among green pads on dark water
Tall pines standing over pale grass
A whale tail rising out of deep blue water
