Autumn Highlights

I thought the telephone lines were begging for an image with this highlight on them. Everything else in the image was just support for this otherwise regular and mundane subject. I saw this through my foggy wet drivers side window and just before I rolled it down I made 2 quick decisions. Not to roll the window down and take one shot. I didn't even roll the window down to see what I may have missed. The sharpest part of the image is a small sliver of telephone line of the left edge. It's another "it's not in focus but what's out of focus" shot. My lens gave the perfect vignette possibly from the closeness and angle my lens was to the window. It's like a painting.

Ice Fishing

I like the thought of ice fishing but not actually doing it. Being cold in the cold all day to "maybe" catch some fish? I've stopped at many fishing places and tried to come up with something in the past. It's never worked out. This angle is from a pull off, and I had a nice (and different) view from above. I had to take advantage of this. The trees seem to separate the quiet day on the ice with the rest of the world. The snow paths show the activity, and the shadow on the side of the shanty seems to add a fifth person, almost more human the the people. These guys are doing what you do on a good day when your not catching anything, hanging out and throwing things when the urge strikes. It's a guy thing. Maybe I am missing out!
