The gazebo in Winter | Lake Lochloosa

  This is another photograph taken on the same day a the previous one, or at least I'm pretty sure it was the same day. It's extraordinary how much the look and feel of the two differ. For both of them we were using a not-good/not-terrible camera that really did all of the work and made all the decisions for us.Nevertheless, through serendipity I guess, we did get a few shots that really captured the feel of that afternoon. This is one of Don's that he felt really nailed it. I love it because it has the look and feel of a Japanese print. The gazebo looks very fragile and delicate here, which is certainly not the case in the previous one.Photography has made me aware of how much the world out there changes from day to day and moment to moment. Heraclitus was right: You can never step into the same stream twice. Regardless of how much you might try to recapture an experience, it's never going to be the same again.
