The "Wait til Next Summer" Begins

For rowboats as well as people...I hiked in the Barney's Lake Preserve with two of my friends this afternoon. Lighting was not great, so it was an HDR and Post Processing kind of photo day.
Cleaning a room a day as we enter our last week on the island and have to prepare to shut down the house til late May or early June (we hope!).

Your processing made this really interesting to look at.

Beautiful scene!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like the how the light has muted some of the colors which you've reclaimed through the hdr processing. I'd have a hard time leaving this place!

[gloria jones]

Fantastic capture, layers, colors

[Bob Zwolinsky]

Your time on Beaver Island always seems to go very fast.

Lovely sky and autumn trees

[Leslie]

Do any people winter on the island ?

[Taffy]

@lesip Yes, definitely. There are about 500 full time residents. A new influx this year too I think because people thought they'd be safer. It will be interesting to see how the newcomers handle the isolation of winter there.
