Lake Arrowhead and Morning Sky
 
11/29/2019
Denville NJ
 
This morning I grabbed my mirrorless Canon camera, fumbled with manual settings and shot 2 frames before my lone battery died. I didn’t have enough reaction time to turn the image stabilization on but was fortunate to get a sharp shot at 1/13 of a second.

Taken off of the Beach Glen Trail within Wildcat Ridge WMA. I particularly liked the symmetry of the reflecting barren tree towards the left of this frame.

High Point Monument and Observation Platform
 
Sussex, New Jersey
 
The observation platform at High Point is located off the short but scenic driving loop. This is a very convenient way to get acquainted with High Point State Park, though not fully comprehensive of the diverse terrain to be found.

In suburban Morris County, Pyramid Mountain is one of the best places to observe the rocky deposits of long-gone glaciers and reconnect with natural history.

Autumn at Great Bay

Autumn at Great Bay
 
Denville, New Jersey
 
I had to stand on a flimsy fallen tree to obtain this clear view of the lake. As Ansel Adams noted, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” Overcast skies also dictated adding an extra stop of light to the exposure to emphasize the foliage.

Taylortown Reservoir, Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area, Morris County NJ
 
I am continuing to explore the park throughout all 4 seasons. Grateful to have the honor of Morris Parks using my artwork for the upcoming replacement of trail signage with the Pyramid Mountain visitors center. Pyramid Mountain is a natural resource enjoyed by thousands of hikers each year, both from in state and out of state.
