A Word a Week Challenge is always fabulous, and I’m an avid follower. Once in a while I decide to take part. These week’s challenge, Dawn brought to mind one of my favorite photos I took at dawn at our neighborhood lake. Enjoy!
Riverbend Lake in Eerie Reflections of Dawn

I love this – with the houses all but invisible in the lake, it could almost be a picture of two times. Maybe now and the past, before those houses and the people in them ever existed, or now and future, in which they – and we – have all crumbled away.
I wonder what the picture would look like upside down 🙂

Good eye! It’s very effective upside down as well. I have a print on my bulletin board by my desk and gave it a try. I love flipping reflection photos. Reflections carry that other dimension or otherworldly feeling for me too, and turning them lends even more reality to the reflection and diminishes the ‘real’ image. I’m glad this sparked your imagination. It continues to be an evocative image for me after having it nearby for many years. It also had the honor of being chosen as the cover image for a literary journal which carried my first short story publishing as well. You can see it here: https://www.createspace.com/3446308 Funny because I was just thinking of the non-gender specific protagonist in that story, Yellow Ribbons, when I commented on your blog earlier today. 🙂

Yes, there’s something about fog that takes the world to another level and makes me see it in a different way. Glad you enjoyed it!

To me fog is a challenge and takes a bit of patients waiting for the proper density or level of the fog whether it be from ground up, being able to see the top and bottom of a fog bank or just the bottom level of the fog with a hint of buildings or scenery. Yes, I did enjoy it.

Beautiful picture. I love the reflection in the water. It almost, but not quite, makes me want to get up early to try and capture a dawn. 🙂 (i’m not a morning person)

I don’t get up and out there very often, but I’m almost always rewarded with extraordinary beauty when I do. Nice that those morning people can share photos with us! 🙂
