Four-Years Ago (03-November-2013) — New Jersey

Sunday in the Park at the opening of the Rock Mill Preserve.

Hard to believe that it has been four years since the park opened. My contractor was going to build a house there, but sold the land to become a park as part of the Montgomery Township open-space program. The Rock Mill Preserve park is within walking distance of my house. Images taken with a Leica X2 camera, and the RAW images converted to B&W using Capture One Pro.

Backyard Autumn Nature

After raining most of the day, the clouds started clearing in the west allowing the late afternoon sun to light up the trees with their fall colors. All I had to do was step out onto my patio and point the camera east.

Backyard Autumn Nature in New Jersey

Another rainy autumn day, but then a view of some colorful clouds at sunset from my patio.
