Mohawk Park Footbridge in Fall

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 16 November 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I shot this Wednesday morning as a heavy morning fog was lifting. The colors just popped in my little park. It was a real treat to walk there as the fog slowly revealed this colorful feast for the eyes.

When I started my walk I could not see the opposite side of the pond very well but within 30 minutes the fog had dissipated.

I have several photos from Wednesday's foggy morning stroll which I will share here and on CaptureThis over the next few days.

ColNed Pictures from Amersfoort, Netherlands

What a cool image... very nice composition. I think with a bit of softness it's postcard worthy !

16 Nov 2007 8:08am

@ColNed Pictures: Thanks. If you like softness, have a look at this one taken the same day a little earlier in the same park before the fog had lifted. I didn't add any softness, it was the result of the fog.
