Sunrise at Big Spring


When I used to walk out the door of my old country middle school, Highland Belle, this is the lake I would see. It is known as Big Spring. Now, that Highland Belle is the Central Office for the Rockbridge County School System, I get to see it at sunrise as I am picking up the mail to drive it to work with me. Last week I had the special treat of being there just as the foggy haze was beginning to lift from over the lake. These are SOOC.

    Lovely shots, Genie

    Hugs and smiles,

    Hi Genie,
    Mystical shots of early-morning mist. Your photos are very evocative. I love the bell in a former post, too - and I agree with what you wrote!

    This looks sppoky. I don't like a foggy morning, because I forget to turn off the light in my car, and once I was caught out. My car won't start and I rang the AA. He took 2 hours to come.

    I love to see fog rising from the lake but the second picture actually almost makes it look like a magical cauldron or something.

    Hi, Genie! Light, air, and mist are collaborating to create a mystical, magical world. Especially the first image looks like an Indian Ink painting with light orange tint.
