Evening Grove. © Copyright 2019 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
A grove of old trees in late-autumn evening light.
This is the second of several photographs that resulted from going to some local holiday festivities — a big garden and mansion decked out in holiday lights and more… but it sure doesn’t look like a holiday scene! After we arrived and parked our car we had to walk to the main facilities and along the way we passed this old grove. In the fading light (somewhat darker than the rendition in the photograph) it had a quality that was somewhere between slightly ominous and simply quiet and dark.
Typically I would probably use a tripod for a photograph like this one, but since our main reason for going to this event wasn’t necessarily to make photographs I did not have one, so I cranked up the ISO and held the camera very still!
