I really like the way the reflection (on a car roof! nice) is a metaphorical kind of x-ray of the tree above as limbs and below as roots, and captured in Fall. I’ve often thought of trees as living mostly above or below ground, depending on the season, and this captures the transition of that idea (for me).
Oh a car roof! So my original perception that it was something domed was right and I just tried to make it into something I understood and persuaded myself it was water! Ha ha, scary
I figure there are (at least) three cheap shots in photography: sunrise or sunset, babies, and reflections. Even the most inept photographer can shoot those and get often striking results. The challenge, though, is to shoot one of those subjects in a genuinely interesting way. This photo does that in spades (even without knowing what the reflective surface is).

Wow. I rarely am jealous of places outside L.A. with all their snow and darkness, but then sometimes – like in this instance – I am. Beautiful.

Terrific. I didn’t at first realise it was a reflection in water, because the foreground looks domed.

Wowza! Just stunning.

Beginning and ending with trees and water. Trees. They are so what it’s all about. And their reflections.

Fondly brings to mind my psychedelic experiences of several decades ago.
