Autumn Sprinkle at Rose Valley Lake
What a wonderful place to get my head back on straight. This is Rose Valley Lake in north central Pennsylvania, taken at the peak of fall’s natural color display.
This photo was taken just before sunset with a Canon EOS 10D with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L telephoto zoom lens @ 200mm. The shutter speed was 1/20th sec at f/13. The camera’s ISO was set to 200. A Manfrotto tripod was used with a remote shutter release.

I am just mersermized by the tranquility and beauty of Rose Valley Lake at the moment of your gorgeous shot. It prompts me to write this simple piece:
HEAR
Walk in the crisp air,
hear the voice of the gentle ripple,
the leaves fall upon themselves,
no babble of people.
