I really love reflections.
Capture and colours are 1st class.

Charles Gramlich said...: Those streaks of light are amazing.; August 22, 2008 at 8:41 PM
Lana Gramlich said...: Thanks, all. :)

Abe; You're close. Looking down into a local creek (although much of the surrounding area is somewhat swampy, particularly after a good rain.); August 22, 2008 at 10:57 PM
ivan@creativedwriting.ca said...: Wondeful pic.

Agree with Charles.

It takes guts to shoot into the light.

BTW: I keep failing Roschach inkblot tests. Where all others see a bat or an interface that becomes a goblet or something, I see a vagina.

I've got to be deranged... Just to centre right of your outstanding photo I see a Sasquatch. See him?
Kinda hulking and very tall, sort of superimposed on the tree.
Well, the full moon has just barely passed, but I'm fixin' to go get some heavy duty buckshot and bag me a Sasquatch.
I think they call it Big Foot in the U.S.

...I'll get betta.; August 23, 2008 at 12:03 AM

PJ said...: Lana,
I am very familiar with Abita beer but not Abita itself. I just came back from Louisiana, where DH is from, and I have to say that I'm really impressed with the way you've captured the essence of the place, at least for me. It's a wonderful sky-graph.; August 23, 2008 at 8:32 PM
JR's Thumbprints said...: Just to the left of the sun's reflection I see a human shadow -- two very long legs and one short arm slightly bended. Caught my eye right away.; August 23, 2008 at 8:56 PM
Donnetta Lee said...: Very beautiful! Makes me a bit dizzy!
Donnetta; August 23, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Jacob said...: Incredible! I love photos of the Sun.; August 23, 2008 at 11:38 PM
Lana Gramlich said...: All; Thanks for the kind words. :)

ivan & jr; I see it now that you mention...too much!

pj; Ironically this picture was taken in Abita Springs, too. Just a couple of miles from my house. So long as you know the beer, you're a friend of mine. *L*; August 24, 2008 at 1:23 AM
ivan@creativewriting.ca said...: I think JR saw something too.

Heh. Now we can't tell anybody.; August 24, 2008 at 2:14 AM
Arija said...: That photo has real magic in it, like an illustration of a faerie tale told long ago. Just wonderful.; August 24, 2008 at 3:35 AM
Louise said...: Simply stunning.; August 24, 2008 at 2:36 PM
Britta Coleman said...: Beautiful.; August 24, 2008 at 8:09 PM

Larry said...: Interesting photograph! Wouldn't it be strange if images of the landscape reflected off of the skY?; August 25, 2008 at 5:33 PM
Lana Gramlich said...: Lisa & NW; Thanks. :)

Larry; It would be, indeed. I wonder if it would give us a headache. It sounds like it would. I wouldn't want to try to drive under those conditions!; August 26, 2008 at 5:37 PM
