Most of our color has faded but the oaks in the distance and warm light of the rising sun breaking through a gap in the overcast showed a bit of the beauty that remains in Shutesbury and New Salem seen from Enfield Lookout in Quabbin Park.

That’s still colorful.

Thanks, Alessandra! Oaks, some of them, keep their leaves through the winter so with the right light there can still be color late in the year.

Whenever I see the phrase “slant of light” – I think of Emily Dickinson. I don’t know if her wording influenced your use or not?

And whenever I see ‘slant’ and ‘Emily’ in the same sentence, I remember that success in circuit lies.

I had not remember that. The reference was a small book I saw in our library once with that title. I don’t remember the photographer’s name and searching Amazon yielded other books but not that one.

The dulled color allows the dark sky and dark water to pair beautifully. I especially like the bit of fog sandwiched between.

Thanks, Linda. It was interesting light with just the hills illuminated. The fog reminded me a bit of a waterfall.

Your wonderful photograph is reminiscent of the Hudson River school of American landscape painters.
That “slant of light” certainly evokes a mood (for me) of a crisp, cool morning where I’d be reaching for my coffee thermos.
Lovely, Steve.

The best compliment I could ever hope for is exactly what you said, Wally. I love the Hudson River School. Thanks! It was just that…a crisp, cool morning.

That’s a great view and I love how the dark clouds and foreground trees almost create a window we look through to see the distant shore and that bit of fog.

Thanks, Todd. I was just driving through after some other shooting and saw this. Fortunate I did not miss it.

The dark sky over a lighter band is a good touch.

Serendipity. I hadn’t expected that and the direction is not the one I usually photograph from this spot. It is where I often shoot Mount Monadnock which of course would most often be the main attraction. Not on this day.
