Portrait of a cypress
I recently had a wonderful opportunity to spend a few days photographing a few of the beautiful and ethereal cypress swamps in the southern US. This time of year is known for fall colours and for the mist hovering over the water. But nothing ever goes to plan. The day before I arrived, a great storm raged through and took down many of the leaves. And the weather was unseasonably warm, and without the cold air the mist mostly didn't materialize. But it was a magical experience all the same, and I loved the stillness, the sense of gothic mystery and the somber colour palette.
