Standing next to a lake beneath a pale evening sky. There are many clouds moving in from the horizon, with a few clouds higher up, including some thin hazy clouds. The wooded far shore of the lake is silhouetted against the sun, with two low descending ridges meeting in a shallow V. The sun is shining through some of those thin hazy clouds as it approaches the treetops of the righthand ridge. Several branches of a submerged dead tree project above the lake surface not far offshore. The lake surface mirrors the sky and the two ridges. It is flat and calm except for dozens of small circular ripples created by raindrops from a light shower.

We are looking over leafy green shrubs along the shore of a large lake. There are around 30 ducks in the lake, swimming, diving for food, one standing on the tiny tip of a mostly submerged rock. The far shore is mostly wooded except for a small cluster of houses. The post sunset sky has turned vivid soft pink and violet. This is mirrored on the lake surface below, rippled gently by soft breezes and the wakes of swimming waterfowl.

A stretch of riverbank consisting almost entirely of jumbled gray boulders from some old rockslide off the nearby mountain. The forest surrounding both banks is green and luxuriant, mirrored on the rippled waters. The forest is dappled with patches of bright sunshine and shade.

Golden hour shoreline hike, Herron Pond, White Memorial Foundation, Morris, Connecticut. September 3, 2024, 5:44 PM.

Beneath an evening sky of deepening blue, we are walking a footpath along the shore of a pond. A stately forest of mature pines, hemlocks and hardwoods encircles the pond. The sun, low in the sky offscreen right, is shining a golden-tinged light on the forest as shadows lengthen beneath the trees. The path follows the shore very closely, in spots short wooden footbridges span tricky stretches. The placid pond surface mirrors the scene but somewhat darker, in spots the water looks almost black. A cluster of deep green lily pads floats just offshore.

Brass sundial for a wall, the thick line indicates 26th of July, the shadow of the sun will follow that line on the 26th of July.

Beautiful golden hour forest, White Memorial Foundation, Morris, Connecticut. September 3, 2024, 5:50 PM

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #summer #forest #goldenhour #pines #summertime

Walking through a mature forest of stately pines and hardwoods. The ground is covered with a lush growth of ferns and small green leafy plants. A wide woods road arcs gracefully through the woods, its surface a soft golden brown carpet of fallen pine needles sprinkled liberally with fallen pines cones. The unseen sun is low in the sky ahead and to our right, casting lengthening shadows through the forest and splashes of golden late day sunshine. Glimpses of a soft blue evening sky are visible through the canopy.

Pink, orange and gold sunset, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. June 29, 2019, 8:50 PM.

Standing on the shore of a lake in the post sunset twilight. Looking out through a thicket of shrubs and small trees. The far shore is wooded. Everything except for the lake and sky is silhouetted in the fading light. Fluffy gray clouds are streaming across a sky tinted gold, orange and pink by the recently set sun. This is mirrored in the lightly rippled waters of the lake below.

Soft pastel sky sunset, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. June 9, 2021, 8:26 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #summer #forest #sunset #sunsetphotography #lake #summertime

We are walking a dirt and gravel footpath with grassy shoulders overgrown with wildflowers and small leafy shoots. We walk past a small copse of trees on the right and then along the shore of a large lake. The right shoulder slopes several feet steeply down to the lake, the left is a similar slope down to a flat swath of grass along the edge of a forest. Up ahead the path arcs right and then left again. At that second turn a cluster of several spreading trees grows along the shore. The rippled waters of the lake mirror a soft pale blue gray sky with gray clouds tinted peach, pale pink and cream pastel tones by the setting sun.

Haircap moss and boulder, forest floor, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut. August 23, 2024, 4:34 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #summer #forest #moss #summertime

A rather extensive colony of bright green moss with starburst-shaped leaf clusters grow next to a large, irregular-shaped boulder covered with dark and light gray lichen. Wisps of grass, most of which is golden brown and dormant, grow along the near edge of the moss.
