On my way home from work on October 20th, 2008, I drove past this pond between Columbia and Lake Avenues in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The water was exceptionally still, the streetlights perfectly highlighted the fall colors, and the moonlit sky glowed a deep indigo blue.

I nearly slammed on the brakes the moment I laid eyes on the scene.

It didn’t matter what my plans were. The next thing on my schedule had just become “set up a tripod”. Every time that shutter closed I giggled with excitement.
