From same location on the Great Miami as the previous post, this time looking North. Just caught the train trestle.

Coming Winter

I'm hoping that this winter isn't as cold as that two years ago. This is a view of the semi-frozen Great Miami River above Middletown. A bright day, the river slushy and the low sun position casting slanting shadows across the crunchy snow.

The beech-maple climax forest that covers the hillsides along the Little Miami at Fort Ancient were in there fall splendor. A clear deep blue sky vibrated against the complementary colors of the foliage (foliage my drawing professor at DAA used to call it!). Late Fall sunlight slants through the tree trunks to light up patches of grass and leaves on the ground.
