Fall at Gold Creek Pond

Gallery: LandscapePosted May 13, 2016791 views7 comments

This is a photo I took last October at Gold Creek Pond at Snoqualmie Pass in Washington State. It was very foggy when I arrived and I had to wait for it to clear a bit. Waiting was no problem because the salmon were spawning in the creek right next to me. I couldn't see them very well, let alone get a decent photo, but the noise they made digging in the gravel bed was very cool.

We had very little fall color. This was about the most colorful shot I had from the area.

The lifting fog added nicely to this Steve; the high-key above and below sets off that middle. Very nice, even without the Salmon in the shot enlightened

A convincing composition for me, Steve, that keeps my attention. There is a wonderful balance to my eye and furthermore delightful details to explore.

Such an inviting scene, can't wait for autumn to arrive! The scene is a beauty in itself, but the regular waves in the water are superb, I love those. The diversity of trees and colors is really nice.

Very nice high key effect on this image. Well composed. The concentric ripples on the lake are especially nice in the larger view.

Nice fall reflection image. I really Ike the lifting fog and it's reflection. We have a lot of hot weather to get thru before I can start thinking about fall, here in Southern Utah.

The contrast between white fog and coloured foliage is wonderful.

Lovely idyllic scene. My eye somehow would like to see a little less yellow hue.
