Calm Returns - Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge
Uploaded: January 11, 2006 04:17:38
After an early season winter storm, the serenity of Cherry Pond returns while the trailing storm catches a touch of alpenglow over NH's Presidential Range. I had originally hoped the clouds would break over the summits, but I now prefer the mystery of wondering what lies beneath the clouds. Three 35mm images shot on Fuji Velvi 100 were assembled in Arcsoft Panorama Maker. A Gitzo tripod along with a 2 stop grd ND filter was used to balance the bright mountains and sky with the cool shadow of the snow and grasses.

Absolutely gorgeous Harry. Where is Cherry Pond? We go to N. Conway frequently but haven't heard of Cherry Pond. Being from NH I'm a little partial to NH landscapes. You're an inspiration. #2276459Janine Russell January 11, 2006
