While standing on a white cedar footbridge in Bass River State Forest in late March, I looked down and saw these things happening, so I took up my camera, and carefully calculated the times of best effect. I took a handful of photographs while holding my breath that they would turn out.
A beautiful morning after a deluge of rain, the sphagnum bogs were overflowing with swiftly moving tannin stained water. Over head- crystal clear blue skies furnished a strong vertical downlight. On the water's surface, swirling currents and eddies as the current passed the bridge's wooden poles. Pin oak leaves, dropped in the spring, went round and round. Reflections of sun highlighted pin oak trunks, dark bare branches, and the evergreens of pitch pines punctuated the surface. Beneath the waters, the sun beams penetrated the shallow crick and caused the red gravel bottom to glow like fire.
Order singly or as a set-meant to be viewed as a triptych.
