2410_0448 Frenchman River
There are famous horseshoe bends on the world's rivers, and obscure ones, such as this. I may be the only photographer who has ever photographed this one, in a remote part of Grasslands, far from the nearest road. The day was virtually cloudless, so I composed to minimize the sky and allow the river to dominate. I wasn't totally confident that this would work, but ended up liking the outcome.
I really like fall on the northern prairie, after the summer heat has departed, before the winter cold arrives. I tend to run late with my latest images, in part because I like to sit with them a while to find out whether they're just a flash in the pan or have some long-term merit. If a photo still interests me after a month or two, it goes into the queue.
And so, a new image set starts today, with a couple of shots from two months ago and then two more from 13 years ago. Seriously. I'll try to explain when I get to them.
