• a country crow

An Amber Morning

A light fog caused an amber start of the day. The calf is a yellow colored breed. Locust, walnut, poplar and mimosa leaves are all silhouetted here.

Plus, there is a crow sitting on the fence.

Update 7January 2009: This scene no longer can be recreated. A house has been built on the hill.
“Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.” -Henri Cartier Bresson

    Wondeful layers in the mist and the placement of the silhouettes at the fronts are excellent.

    Thanks for the kind comments. I took the photo a week ago. I saw a great sky and drove around looking for a sight to capture. Luck and persistence worked as I stopped at three other spots first.

  39. McNeney (70 months ago | reply)

    Gorgeous!

    Technical expertise will only get you so far. The rest is, as you say, luck and persistence. Amazing capture.
