Painted Tree

West Virginia

Ok, so I didn't call this "More Gloom" although there was no sun again. It actually makes a scene like this easier to expose since you don't get highlights on the water. I'm glad I can find reasons to not miss the sun. :)

This was taken at the top of Brush Falls.

For the September challenge - Transitions. Other transitions can be seen here.

you are right Karen sombre weather gives more soft tones to an image then the harsh sunlight!

Well, you are getting some very fine shots, despite, or perhaps because of, lack of sun! V

This image really evokes the sights and sounds and smells of a lovely quiet autumn day. The soft light is perfect for this calm scene. V++

Beautiful scene, and we don't miss the sunlight in this one either. The colour is great!

Gorgeous early Fall image, Karen. Excellent exposure and shutter, too.
Best to you,
