I stopped at the park on this day because there was a low fog that I was hoping to capture hanging over the lake. As you can see, it was gone by the time this image was made. I knew there was an image to be had; the light was rather flat but the colors were beautiful and I am a sucker for a good reflection. I had my camera set up and shot composed but was waiting for the sun to peek thru the clouds to light up the trees at the far end of the lake. In the meantime I took this shot with my smartphone to post on social media.
When I looked at the image I decided to "play" with it a bit, opening it in Photoshop Express, muting the color and adding a bit of a vignette. In the end, this is what I decided was "the" image. It reminded me of an old photograph that you come across while looking for something else. A nice little surprise trip down "Memory Lane". Looking at it brings me back to a simpler time in my life and I get a bit nostalgic.
Looking back, I can't imagine why we were all in such a hurry to grow up!
Oh, by the way - this image is the same location with some low hanging fog. It was shot some time prior to the autumn shot.
