Oneida Lake

The water level is low this year because of the lack of snow.

Thanks everyone for your very kind words on all of my shots. I do appreciate it.

A very lonely scene somehow with the moody skies and the bare tree. Those reflections are beautiful!

[Kimmi]

Beautiful scene

[VikkiGM]

Love this shot.

[Cricket Hackmann]

This is beautiful, in a haunting sort of way! The bare tree and the low-hanging clouds really add to the mood!

[Robert Velten]

Nicely composed, the waters reflecting the clouds relieve an otherwise rather drear scene. It's as if in flattery to encourage release of renewing precipitation......... or not. Happy Monday!

[Margaret Tryon]

@robv Happy Monday to you to Robert. :-)

[Dawn Wilson]

A gorgeous view, and the tree adds a nice touch to the photo

[Shirley Chetwynd]

nice capture, and yes the poor old tree seems to be lacking water as well.

[Danny Davies]

Lovely photo Margaret, the small tree is just right for composition. It's the same here. Part of UK are short on rain fall, some small rivers are slowly drying up.
