On Golden Pond by James L. Brown
Canada Geese glided silently on my favorite pond at the Marthaville Habitat Area located in Southern Ontario, Canada. I rose at about six am to a wonderful fog. I knew I only had minutes to capture this magical place before the fog and mist burned off with the rising sun. Fortunately I was the only person there that morning and the geese almost seemed to want pose for me! They sure made my day.

Great photo, perfect light/dark balance and wonderful painting with the light.
beautiful colors. the swans make the picture look alive.
Why thank you Terry. I seldom get up early enough to find that magic light . Shortly after taking this photo the fog disappeared and the magic was gone – jimmy
This photo is incredible! I always love the early morning surprises the skies and the landscape give us.
