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.

A very good choice in this case, almost back to 1800′
Wonderful, John!…beyond anything I could say about it.
Thanks, Mic. I really appreciate that
“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. š
Thanks for commenting. Happy Thanksgiving!
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.
Super comment. Many thanks brother Paul šā
