Dried Up

Last years dry and hot summer left this pond on the Trinity River corridor with dangerous level of water. This photo won third place in the Pro division of the 2011 Trinity River Photo Contest in the river and pond division. After a wet fall and winter we are back to safe levels in our North Texas area.
Sony a 900 with Minolta 20mm lens, carbon fiber tripod, ball head, cable release cpl filter. :wink:

Beautiful image Rick. I particularly like the way everything, including the shadows, leads from the great foreground detail back to the urban setting and faint glimmer of water.

You had me going though! I did my graduate research on the Trinity River back in the 1970's, and I'm aware that last year the Trinity saw some relief from the ongoing drought conditions. That is.....the Trinity River in California! :jump:
