TITLE: Inner Circle

I captured this image on a foliage trip I took through upstate Ney York and Vermont this past fall. I was driving by a small lake and almost missed this image. After driving by, I had to do a quick U-turn and go back. It was a calm, overcast afternoon and the water was perfectly still. I was drawn to this small section of shoreline on the opposite side by the way the deciduous trees that had begun to lighten and change color fully encircled to two pine trees in the center. I grew-up in the northeastern part of the United States and fall foliage is always a magical time that transports me back to my youth.
