gray day: saturated color



Clear is not what we have, nor sunny. Today not only brought more fog (our trend now for a record six months,) but the mist has thickened into something close to rain. The saturated sidewalks are dark with moisture, and the hills obliterated, as if rubbed with chalk.

The thing is, gray weather rewards photographers. It enriches color and obscures the bleaching effects of the sun. And so this kind of dark day -- and I guess it's true for every day, really -- when explored more closely, delivers jewels.

  2. Roger, Thank you for your kind and sensitive comments. I must say, that there is nothing more beautiful than the East Coast in the fall. I encourage you to take more photos without judging, simply for the enjoyment.
