The whimsical wisps of golden mist danced over this lake at a cold sunrise creating ever changing moods and compositions. The sun rose on the upper right of the image and all of a sudden the pine trees behind the lake were being lit from behind which made them stand out from the pine forest in the background. This is something you just can not plan, this was a very lucky occurrence and one I cherish to this day. The image Autumnsphere was created a few minutes later. This photograph is also available in my shop.

The focus is on tranquil scenes that seem to lie outside everyday reality, without people in the picture, with subjects that are about to disappear often being the subject. The fleeting patterns in the sand, but especially old forest giants that are disappearing at breakneck speed due to climate change.
