Lake McDonough Viewpoint

The picture is from late yesterday; a overlook on the Tunxis Trail in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. There was a climb to get up to this spot, and it looked quite a bit different than when I was there in July.  November’s evening cloak was already spreading over the woods reminding me to start heading back while I still had some light.

Nineteenth century photography is always tugging at me, and I often borrow one thing or another when working on a picture. I tend to avoid the full-throttle treatment in most situations, but when I caught the scent of melancholy that it brought to this file there was no turning back.

  1. “Always tugging at me” is such a good way of putting it. This is a photo I want to see bigger on the screen, or if I was in a gallery or museum, I’d be peering closely at it. šŸ™‚

  2. Great panoramic shot. Ahh..the ridge in the distance, beckoning, tugging at your imagination, tempting you to push on and see just what’s going on up there. I always get that feeling in places that afford such a view and this picture captures that.
