Light Bend
by Ian Plant
This image was taken on a still autumn day at the peak of fall color. A slight ripple on the water's surface adds a hint of abstraction to the reflection. To ream more about the story behind this image, visit my daily photoblog.

It’s a hold your breath photo…. and let it out slowly…in case you cause a ripple.
I was mesmerised. Indeed, we are all so lucky to have
incredibly talented people willing to share their photographs with us. Indeed,we live in a place of
true beauty.
