Description
The weatherman called the first weekend of October 2011 �the perfect Autumn weekend� and I was lucky enough to start my sojourn to Michigan�s kaleidoscopic wonderland on Thursday afternoon. I had a great four days in northern Michigan and on Monday reluctantly headed back to Holland by way of the winding roads between Ludington and Muskegon. I spent about an hour at Silver Lake and Little Point Sable lighthouse and then headed south along B15. This road is also named Scenic Drive and this year it lived up to its name as the Fall colors were spectacular. Being a slow driver of two lane roads has the disadvantage of rendering me an irritating pariah to locals who are trying to get on with their life, but on the plus side it allows me to see the tranquil pond peering out between the intermittent clearings of a roadside woodland. It was late in the afternoon and the glorious blue sky reflected off the glassy smooth waters. I quickly set up my medium format view camera on Gitzo tripod and squeezed off a couple shots exposing for the sky. I knew the darker pond and shoreline could be brought to life with my Photoshop toolbox. This photo capped off a fabulous Autumn field trip.
