Hey Tom,
Quite a different shot for you.
It has an etheral or other worldly feel to it. I like it very much

Hey Gary,
Thanks for the compliment.
Take care,
Tom
I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

Hi Liz,
Thanks for the kind words. I have to sneak in shots like this on occasion just to let you folks know I'm not entirely one-dimensional. I can tell you that the setting for this picture had a very eerie feeling to it.
Be well,
Tom

Very nice capture, Tom, but the processing doesn't seem quite right to me. The high saturation and brightness of the grass doesn't say eerie. I think if you toned the greens down it would improve the image. Just thinking out loud...

Hi Richard,
As always, I appreciate your views. This was a somewhat strange scene. Above this low-slung cloud was an intense sun. That's why you see an unusually bright situation for one that is cloaked in such heavy cloud cover. The cloud bank seemed to actually somehow enhance the presence of all that light.....causing a bit of an unreal glow to things. I might have been able to manipulate the image to go for more of an eerie feeling than there is but I'm afraid I would have lost something about the odd lighting.
I'm not the greatest at PP skills, you know.
Take care my friend,
Tom

Neat Shot, really makes things much cooler here than the 100 degrees
it's supposed to be this weekend:D
Love the look and feel of this one, it won't be long and it'll be Fall again.
Take care,

Hey Sam,
It's good to hear from you. That lone figure is my wife, Darlene. We were out for our usual morning walk around this lake. There were a few low-lying clouds still present in what was otherwise a brilliant, sunny day. I could see this " wall " of cloudy mist coming our way, so I ran back a ways to take this shot. By the time she got to that tree on the left, I could see neither her nor that tree. The cloud was that thick. Hence, it was like she had walked " into oblivion ".

Yo Craig,
Thanks for your kind words. Man, cool weather can't get here soon enough. I just back from the mountains and it was even hot up there....cooled off nicely in the evenings but some of the days were scorchers.

Tom,
What's really interesting...to me...:D is I saw a "her" walking, but when I posted I clanged "her" to "loan figure" because I couldn't articulate why I thought the figure was female.

This is high in the Appalachians....beside a big lake. Low clouds set in and it can get so bad you literally can't see anything over 10 feet away.

I hope you're doing well. The trail around this lake is a little over a mile....got to be one of the most beautiful walks a person can make.
Take care,
Tom
